Yes, SMP (Athlon64 X2 and I noticed it on a Xeon 3040 too). > What do your logging rules that might be responsible for this look like?

No. Nothing special. The interesting is that this behaviour started at 2.6.25 kernel version, but I couldn't find anything that was changed between .24 and .25 to cause this. Very strange. Is there a way I can trace the function that generates the log output syslog line? I use Function Tracer included in 2.6.27 kernel already, but I need a way to stop the tracing it exactly at the point when this happens, otherwise the tracing buffer will be replaced... -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
