*argl* thanks for this. Must have messed this up while manually
extracting the patch from a bigger one.
From what I can see the changes have already been committed.
I will correct my patch within the next hours for those people who
fetch it for fixing their 5.2R.

No ! calling key_sp_unlink() from key_spdflush() will result in an
_extra_ call of key_freesp() and thus refcnt will be decremented
though it shouldn't.
This will result in a refcnt being 0 too early and with valid
pointers to that secpolicy and will further lead to "Memory accessed
and/or modified after free" situations somewhen after the first and
all successive flushes of the SPD.
Each part of the code checks for the state == .._DEAD when getting an
sp from sptree so the comment above key_spdflush() is correct. Only
mark the sp as dead.
Hope this explains the problem a bit better.
