Comment 1 for bug 269358

Same problem here. I have reproduced the bug in 3 different PCs (all running 8.04.1 server, one i686, two AMD64). Here is the summary of one of them:

arch: x86_64
kernel: 2.6.24-19-server
OS: Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 (AMD64)
software RAID1, reiserfs at the root, xfs at an archive partition

after a clean install:
  apt-get update
  apt-get upgrade
  apt-get install acpid smartmontools bridge-utils ebtables screen

/etc/network/interfaces:
-----
#
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
        address 192.168.1.200
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed

        bridge_ports eth0 eth1
        bridge_stp on
        bridge_maxwait 0
#
-----
reboot
-----
ebtables -t broute -F
ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -p IPv4 --ip-protocol 6 --ip-destination-port 80 -j redirect --redirect-target ACCEPT

as soon as the traffic starts, the kernel crashes, with or without complementing the ebtables rules with iptables:

iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8888
