Is this 4.5-release, or 4.5-stable (aka 4.6-RC2)? 4.5-release had a few bugs in the syn cache which could cause crashes. 2. Are you using accept filters? Accept filters act oddly on 4.5-release, you'll have to upgrade to 4.5-stable/4.6. 3. Could you use tcpdump to determine what exactly is going wrong and post a url to the log so that we can investigate what is going wrong?
