Shorewall users - Aug 2002 - Re: ip_conntrack_lock not readlocked (fwd)

Here is a message from Hareld Welte, the current Netfilter lead developer 
about these messages. Sounds like he is interested in finding out more 
information about occurences of these messages (or he was a month and a 
half ago).

how often do you see them? Do they have always the same  line number?
