Hi,

while testing shorewall-5.0.1 with linux-4.2.3 I was hit by

> nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet

after calling `shorewall6 update -A` (which failed on my system because
shorewall6 is not probably configured):

> # shorewall6 update -A

# sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_count
-3
^^
 Negative value? Before calling `shorewall6 update -A` the counter
showed a value of 4.


Looks like I was hit by

Not a shorewall bug but I wanted to report for people experiencing the
same problem.
