Hello,

from the log below, you can see, that the module ip_conntrack is neither
loaded nor unloaded. This should never happen, but it does in
linux-2.4.0-test5. Maybe there are some insmod|rmmod races, because I
insmod ip_conntrack in my /etc/ppp/ip-up script and I rmmod it in my
/etc/ppp/ip-down script, and unter rare circumstances, both may be run
simultaneously.

P.S.: So far, I cannot reproduce this bug, it appeared only once for
this week I'm using test5.
