This is only true if you are using InlineMode() on a bridge without an
ip stack and you have an ip address assigned to a management
interface, and you don't turn on layer2resets.  Turning on
layer2resets should fix your issue in this scenario.  Connections
currently do not get sent in both directions only to the attacker that
triggered that alert.  We will add options in the future to reflect
the flexresp options of src/dst/both but I've been pressed for time
lately.

I regards to the bug Patrick was refering to, that was a problem with
stream4 timeouts and InlineMode();  That was fixed a long time
ago.....
