You're mentioning ip_conntrack, which is obsoleted for multiple
years now. Which kernel version are you using?

By definition of ip_conntrack, that must be older than 2.6.20.

Yes, this is a 2.6.18 Xen kernel that I am using. Even if it is
obsolete, can you let me know if you are aware of such a problem ever
having caused any issues? I just want to get a feeling if I am at least
roughly on the right track while figuring out what the problem is.
We've had a couple of problems related to related to
acknowledgement numbers in TCP conntrack, I'd suggest
you check the nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c changelogs,
basically everything in there should also apply to
the old version.

Thanks for your advice. Why would the problem be in nf_conntrack_proto_tcp and not in ip_conntrack_proto_tcp?

Its not of course, but nf_conntrack_proto_tcp is derived from ip_conntrack_proto_tcp,
all the bugfixes also apply to ip_conntrack_proto_tcp.
