Some of the __alloc_skb disappeared but there are still a lot of
context_struct_to_string (812). Could you let it running for a bit to
get more reported leaks (few thousands) and send me the contents of
the /proc/slabinfo file (together with the memleak file)? I want to
make sure whether it is a kmemleak problem or not.

Here is a slabinfo from current 2.6.18-rc1-git4 and 2.6.18-rc1 +
kmemleak http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/o_bugs/kml/slab.txt

I haven't seen that before
orphan pointer 0xf1283e34 (size 224):
c01735c2: <kmem_cache_alloc>
fdc8c5cf: <ip_conntrack_alloc>
