Problem is still here. I did not already tested tip of Linus' git tree but can do it on Monday. This might be completely unrelated but while looking at others commits around previous one, I saw bd7b1533cd6a68c734062aa69394bec7e2b1718e ([PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns ones). Does IPv6 need the same kind of trick ? Cheers, a+
