Colin,
this is my setup where this bug first occured:
* Ubuntu Linux with kernel 2.6.24-18-server
* libnfnetlink 0.0.38 (compiled from sources)
* libnetfilter-conntrack 0.0.94 (compiled from sources)
* conntrack-tools 0.9.7 (compiled from sources)
* Keepalived v1.1.15

Both machines have a rather identical configuation running a redundant iptables 
firewall. Conntrackd is running tpo replicate the connection state of the 
active firewall to the backup (I'll attach conntrackd.conf).
The firewalls are in an active/standby configuration managed by keepalived 
(thoug I don't think you need keepalived to reproduce the bug).

So to trigger this bug you'll need to:
* make some connections over the active firewall. When I do "conntrackd -i" on 
the active firewall I see typically a few hundred lines.
* Then execute "conntackd -c" on the other machine. This does not trigger the 
bug everytime, especially since I've turned on logging in conntrackd.conf the 
bug occured rather infrequent. But executing "while sleep 1 ; do conntrackd -c 
; done" crashed the machine almost always within a few seconds.

Here I've two references which probably describe the same bug:
