Well, I tried sending an explanatory message to netdev, netfilter & cc'd
to kvm, but it appears not to have made it to kvm or netfilter, and the
cc to netdev has not elicited a response. My resend to netfilter seems
to have dropped into the bit bucket also.

Is there anyone who can point me at the appropriate cage to rattle? I
know it appears to be a netfilter issue, but I don't seem to be able to
get a message to the list (and I am subscribed to it and have been
getting mail for months) and I'm not sure who to pester. The other
alternative is I just stop doing "that" and wait for it to bite someone
else.

Cheers.
