The following 'bug' is currently only a textual typo due to the structures
actually used - if the structures change it could cause a real bug ....

In the init for ip_conntrack_rpc_tcp the code sets the ports for 

  rpc_helpers[port].mask.dst.u.udp.port = htons(0x0);

with  
  rpc_helpers[port].tuple.dst.protonum = IPPROTO_TCP;

i.e. it's setting the udp port for a TCP packet.   In this instance it doesn't 
matter becase the tuple structure is a union and uses the same type - 
from ip_conntrack_tuple.h:
			struct {
                                u_int16_t port;
                        } tcp;
                        struct {
                                u_int16_t port;
                        } udp;

Looks like a good spot you've made there.

I suggest you send it to the netfilter developers' list, however, as I don't 
think they always manage to keep up with everything on this users' list.

Antony.
