Hi,
Resending to make sure this doesn't fall through the cracks. The
following patch applies to 2.6 and fixes a memory leak.

Indeed, as Herbert pointed out, no need to NULL the pointer, updated
patch follows.

When the bridge topology allows a single skb to traverse more than one
bridge we end up leaking skb->nf_bridge each time the skb enters the
second or higher bridge. The leak occurs when bridge netfilter is
enabled on 2.4 (with bridge netfilter patch) and 2.6 git head,
proposed 2.4 fix below.
