Another thing that just entered my mind: I configured raw/PREROUTING to -j CT 
--notrack TCP port 80 (source and dest) on the appropriate interfaces and this 
resulted in total loss despite the fact that I had --ctstate UNTRACKED set to 
ACCEPT - and again, this behaviour only occurs under 3.4.[9|10] (probably 
earlier too but I didn't test)
