Okay, maybe this is a better forum for this. I'm losing lines from
/proc/net/ip_conntrack if I don't use a large enough buffer. Why is
this? The code is broken, but it's broken too subtly for me to work out.

----- Forwarded message from Taral <taral@taral.net> -----

% dd if=3D/proc/net/ip_conntrack bs=3D256 | wc -l
0+3 records in
0+3 records out
      3
% dd if=3D/proc/net/ip_conntrack bs=3D512 | wc -l
0+2 records in
0+2 records out
      5

Can anyone explain this? (2.4.13-ac3) It's wreaking havoc with my
program.
