Ok, I can not reproduce it, so lets try hard way.
Can you test attached patch, its idea is described above and I checked
multiple times, that it is forbidden to free skb and return non-zero
value from tcp_rcv_established(). This behaviour was introduced with TCP
defer accept changes in 2.6.25 with
ec3c0982a2dd1e671bad8e9d26c28dcba0039d87 commit.

Please test. This bug affects both ipv6 and ipv4 code actually.
