Unfortunately looks like indefinitely. Never watched longer so far
(rebooted soon), but I'm seeing this message now repeated every 10 secs
for ~10 minutes on a idle system.

Additionally when testing this I found another one (by accident started
my firewall script in that namespace...) - using netfilter RECENT
makes it barf. Stripped down to the essentials it looks like this:
