Turning on debugging in netfilter turns up an infinite loop occuring with
the message:
Found best for tuple c0123d70: x xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1070 -> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:24674
Oh, and it seems to be masquerading stuff in both directions, dispite my
chain rule which explicitly says "packets going out through ppp0":
pkts bytes target prot opt tosa tosx ifname mark outsize source destination ports
24 1612 MASQ all ------ 0xFF 0x00 ppp0 anywhere anywhere n/a
5. NFS seems to randomly "forget" to write data into files.
After a reboot (from the infinite loop crash above), most (but not all)
modules which make modules_install placed into /lib/modules/2.4.0-test1-ac4
were zero length, dispite having been loaded in the previous session
(eg, the ipchains.o module).
