The problem is that kernel data is being sent to userspace due to an
uncleared buffer that was allocated and then copied to userspace.  This
can be reproduced by dumping the current set of iptables rules.  Peter
had an example reproducing script that he used to specifically show
this.  Peter, can you provide that?

I thought that initializing this buffer to zero would solve the problem,
but I guess I cleared the wrong buffer :(

thanks,
