I've gotten this message 3-4 times.  Something seems to be going wrong.

One other thing though...

Linux 2.6 has IPSEC built in, and IPSEC has a UDP tunneling standard.
So, I would suggest eventually moving over to it.  I suspect, in the
future, a lot of Ethernet cards (and possibly even motherboards) will
start having hardware built in that's specifically designed for IPSEC
acceleration.

Have fun (if at all possible),
