Thanks. I was a reading it, but something with impatience and
lazy, and worst of all, I still don't know an easy way to blame
without cloning the repository :-(

Thanks for yet another oversight ;-). And it would definitely not
be needed here. I do wonder about the EnterFunction though.
I could not clearly see what really generatd the "invalid header"
error message in the log.

Jesper and Hans, I think that ipv6_find_hdr should have a target
of -1 to find the protocol header, and any other next-header
target will be valid after that.
Anyway, I will read the committing patches again and reduce the
patch to just a change -1.
If I see any "invalid headers" again on the firewall, I will add
the debugging.
The current patch is live using 3.12.11
( http://www.speurders.nl/ and http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/ f.i. )

Ard
