Well, timing of course ;) - essentially, traffic paths are ensured longer than 
the actual time for replication of conntrack state.

You can disregard this, turned out to be due to the unfortunate fact that 
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal is of course replaced by 
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal under 3.4

Please feel free to send me your latest rework of the patch and I will be 
happy to test it out.

Kind Regards,
Oliver
