Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic

When I upgraded from hardy to intrepid, my IPsec configuration stopped
working.  The first symptom I noticed was upon boot, racoon was spinning
itself in a busy loop, sucking up all of one CPU.  After tinkering with
setkey trying to edit the running IPsec configuration, I found that
setkey would give me the error "invalid keymsg length".

I found http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/6754/ which shows a patch that
fixes the "invalid keymsg length" problem.  This has been applied
upstream, and should be included in 2.6.28.  This corresponds to commit
920da6923cf03c8a78fbaffa408f8ab37f6abfc1 in Linus's tree.

I built a kernel from the git tree at kernel.ubuntu.org with this fix,
and both setkey and racoon work as intended.  I will build a kernel from
the same tree without that patch later today to verify that it is indeed
the culprit.
