Which i double-checked by reverting that commit from -git as well and  
that solved the crash. Find the tested reverter patch below.
Thats odd. I don't think anything is wrong with that patch itself, its 
more likely that its triggering a bug in ct_extend. You config has a 
few helper enabled (FTP, H.323, TFTP) and the crash is when trying to 
call the helper functions. Did you actually have traffic of one of 
these protocols?
no, that's not likely - it's a default distro bootup.
OK thanks. I'll look into it.
