This is a kernel issue... if it corresponds to a bug, kernel programmers
will have to be informed of it.  However, I suspect not, since:

  http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2003-Jul/1203.html

suggests that this is a symptom of low memory. (Subsequent discussion
suggests that a full root filesystem can do this also.)

Low memory can occur if your router is NATing a lot of different
connections (even short duration ones).  Adding memory or reshuffling your
ramdisk allocations may help in such cases. looking at
/proc/net/ip_conntrack can give you an idea of the number of connections
being supported.
