It's getting a bit off-topic here, so feel free to move this thread along to 
the netfilter list (we both seem to be reading it ;-), but what exactly does 
the window tracking patch address?

Since you call it a 'patch' I take it it's not in the vanilla kernels from 
kernel.org, so chances that we're running it are very slim. I wonder if we 
want to patch the kernel now or not...

PS: Downside of taking this to netfilter is that that list is a bit slow, and 
this list is fast - it takes over an hour before posts on netfilter actually 
appear in you inbox :(
