Although the original report says, "After 250 days, the jiffies overflow and ipt_recent do not work anymore" and is for 2.4, I've actually found that the code included in 2.6.8 (and probably any kernel version that includes ipt_recent) causes unexpected issues related to the jiffies as well, other than the 250 days issue. If you have rules that block based on ipt_recent you will find that they will block much too early at odd times. For example, I have a rule that will DROP ssh connections if there have been more than 6 seen in the last 60 seconds, but (seemingly) randomly I will get DROPped on the first connection.
