Subject: KERNEL: assertion tcp.c in 2.4.20

I have been seeing some odd errors in 2.4.20.
KERNEL: assertion (newsk->state != TCP_SYN_RECV) failed at tcp.c(2229)
KERNEL: assertion
((1<<sk2->state)&(TCPF_ESTABLISHED|TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT|TCPF_CLOSE)) failed
at af_inet.c(689)
KERNEL: assertion (newsk->state != TCP_SYN_RECV) failed at tcp.c(2229)
KERNEL: assertion
((1<<sk2->state)&(TCPF_ESTABLISHED|TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT|TCPF_CLOSE)) failed
at af_inet.c(689)
KERNEL: assertion (newsk->state != TCP_SYN_RECV) failed at tcp.c(2229)
KERNEL: assertion
((1<<sk2->state)&(TCPF_ESTABLISHED|TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT|TCPF_CLOSE)) failed
at af_inet.c(689)

Could some one tell me what that means and if I should be worried.

Also I get alot other TCP: messages Could some one explain to me what
these mean?

Looks like a SYN flood. What is this machine being used for? It
might indicate a SYN flood attack, or trying to serve more connections
than the machine can handle.
