See some advice here: http://archives.seul.org/or/relays/Aug-2010/msg00034.html

Also are you running with a lot of iptables/ip6tables rules active (or any at
all)? If you do, consider rewriting them so that at least 'conntrack' is not
used (check that you can do "rmmod ipt_conntrack" cleanly, or it's not loaded
in the first place).
