OK thanks !

I believe commit d218d11133d888f9745802146a50255a4781d37a
(tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism) might be the bug origin.

I am testing following patch, based on latest net-2.6 tree (including
the LINUX_MIB_TCPMINTTLDROP bit)

[PATCH] tcp: Fix tcp_v4_rcv()

Commit d218d111 (tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism) added a bug
for TIMEWAIT sockets. We should not test min_ttl for TW sockets.
