Ok, now I have some news:

I can reproduce it when running iperf over the loopback interface and
doing -j QUEUE in INPUT.

With my debug patches, I get one line

len(4096) < nlh->nlmsg_len(16480)

for every 'stuck' packet. This clearly indicates that the kernel sends
messages that are larger than the 4096byte static buffer that
nfqnl_test.c uses.  I've increased this to 65535 and no longer get those
problems.

Hoewver, the buffer actually needs to be even larger, since the maximum
native packet size is 64k, plus the overhead of nfnetlink attributes,
etc.

What buffer size do you use in your app?
