> Perhaps you could try again with 2.4.23-pre[456]. I have tested with 2.4.23-pre6 and the problem seems fixed, in fact, I tested 2.4.22 with 2.4.23-pre6 bridge, which means a minimal patch, an it worked well also, thanks for your sugestion ;-) So I believe that the problem was really in the bridge code but it seems solved, now I only wish somebody could explain me how this bug in the bridge code that was fixed in a little patch could be affecting the loopback :-?
