Probably not the casue. It happens quite often here (followed by me doing a
iptable blocking on the IP and sending a reclamation to the preovider, with
no answer unfortunately) and I never saw problems like the one you describe.
Version is Linux 2.6.11-12mdkcustom, but it happened with vanilla kernel(s)
too, same behavior here.
