Which i double-checked by reverting that commit from -git as well and that solved the crash. Find the tested reverter patch below.
Thats odd. I don't think anything is wrong with that patch itself, its more likely that its triggering a bug in ct_extend. You config has a few helper enabled (FTP, H.323, TFTP) and the crash is when trying to call the helper functions. Did you actually have traffic of one of these protocols?

no, that's not likely - it's a default distro bootup.

OK thanks. I'll look into it.
