Between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 (and 2.6.19.1) we've observed that a reject 
rule on the OUTPUT chain no longer causes a connection attempt to abort 
immediately with "Connection refused".  As a specific example, this rule

iptables -A  OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 23 \
   --destination 10.0.20.1  -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

will cause a telnet connection to 10.0.20.1 to fail immediately under 
2.6.18 but will take minutes to timeout under 2.6.19.  Is this an 
intended change in functionality or a regression?  This is all using 
iptables-1.2.7a.
