Hi Ali,

I was just in the process of sending you a note about this with the 
2.4.28 kernel.  I did a simple clean recompile with the pom-ng-20040621  
against iptables 1.2.11 source with only the pptp conntrack patches 
applied, and indeed, it did recompile without making the changes to the 
code in

line 108 in ip_nat_proto_gre.c.  I then later ran through and applied a boat-load more of the available patches, and ran back into the problem again!  I was about to start the tedious process of trying to figure out which patch nerfed pptp conntrack.  I definitely did apply both the tproxy and the nat-reservations patches, and after that, it was borked again!  I will cc the netfilter list with this info as well.  I was also unable to recompile iptables 1.2.11 after those patches, something borked ipt_mac.c in that series of patches.  I will pay closer attention next time, and see if I can narrow it down.  Thanks very much for the heads-up!
