 Additional notes:
 
 It appears that to make this bug crop up, the kernel option 
 IPFIREWALL_FORWARD must be set, along with the option IPFIREWALL.
 
 As a temporary workaround, I have added an assignment which sets 
 the variable "len" unconditionally to zero immediately after its 
 definition. However, since I do not know the code well, someone who 
 is more familiar with the code should make sure that this does not 
 mask a serious bug.
