I fail to see this. It looks bogus to me. Can you tell me a
configuration 
or setup when CONFIG_IP_MASQ_DEBUG is set? There should also be a
&sysctl_ip_masq_debug, sizeof(int), 0644, NULL, &proc_dointvec} proc-fs
entry, or not? I just cannot see where this is triggered. #ifdef's 
everywhere but no #define.

I hope you mean 2.2.19. If 2.2.20 is still full of bugs, I'll definitely
change to OpenBSD or back to 2.0.39. :)

Ok, I've a LVS workshop an thursday. I can let the people test this
patch.
I'm sure they will love to see a kernel crashing and blame me for it :)
