Can you try to debug the problem further?  What kind of machine are you
using? Is it a SMP box? Is there any particular circumstance when the
problem happens?  Are you sure that connection tracking does really have 
a record for all of the already existing connections (try listing
/proc/net/ip_conntrack)?

Sure, but it would be helpful if you could tell me more about the
problem.

Please Cc' netfilter-devel@lists.netfilter.org in your mails, so other
people can give helpful comments, in case they find something about this
problem.
