Dear Alexey,

seems to help. Thank you for your quick response. Kernel 3.10.28 is  
now stable using h323 / Polycom.

Will test this patch with different kernel versions the next days.

Best Regards,
Toni

This must be the same bug fixed in SIP module:

Re: OOPS in nf_ct_unlink_expect_report using Polycom RealPresence Mobile

[astx]

Test results / tested kernel versions:

3.2.54
3.8.13
3.10.28

Above kernel versions without patch are dying with same error on  
trying to start h323 connections using "Polycom RealPresence Mobile".

I can confirm that with this patch all three kernel versions are  
pretty stable now again.

Thank you all for your fast and competent help.

Best Regards,

Toni
