After that, the bpfilter output rests.

If I try to start docker, then new bpfilter errors as the ones above are
printed again, with increasing PIDs and similar pseudo-random-looking
positions. I have not tested with other bpfilter-using programs.

Let me know if my system has any information that might help in this matter.

Best regards,
