Subject: XFRM does not rate limit messages from the kernel to userspace

Hello everybody.
I'm experimenting the problem described in this
bug report http://bugs.xelerance.com/view.php?id=726

The system is running vanilla 2.6.19.2 on Slackware
10.1 (gcc 3.3.5, glibc 2.3.5)

I'm available for any kind of test.
TIA

PS: I see a lot kernel memory allocation:
root@...osa:/etc# free
              total       used       free     shared buffers     cached
Mem:        159276     156700       2576          0   0       3108

Swap:       330584      38280     292304
