I am sorry, but the system was already in production at the time I
wrote the Bug-Message. So I am not able to do any reboots anymore.
Moreover, I feel a little unconfortable submitting a customers log
(altough I possibly could mask the IP-Adresses etc.)

If you think it would really, really be helpfull to have these logs
let me know, I'll try to send you the logs I have (just after reboot
and after shorewall restart; I didn't dump the log after clearing).
