> If you send a large UDP packet through a bridge that is running over a VLAN, the kernel will panic.  The attached patch will fix the problem.  This fix was back ported from a working 2.6 kernel.  Basically the fragments that are created in ip_fragment() need to leave room in the refragmented packets for the VLAN data.    This patch applies to the 2.4.31 kernel.

Looks ok, I'll make a new release. Didn't know I forgot to backport
it...

Thanks,
Bart
