I've now recompiled conntrack-tools using these CFLAGS:

	-march=nocona -O0 -ggdb -DDEBUG

Also, the binaries were not stripped anymore:

	/usr/sbin/conntrackd: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

(I forgot to mention I'm on a 64bit kernel + userland).

I'm now stressing the firewalls with packets.
