I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though. dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they both go for the ball and end up in each other's way. This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.
