I still have problems running the nflog test utility nfunl_test. I get a 
segmentation fault when nflog_get_payload() is called as soon as the 
first packet is received. The other nflog_get* functions which are 
called before work fine (even though I did not check what they return). 
I aligned the receive buffer and actually don't see the reason for the 
segfault.

When I use libnetfilter_log in my own application it works fine as far 
as I can tell. Byte alignment problems are quite non-deterministic and 
the problem with nfunl_test indicates, that there is still a problem around.
