Seven! including a run out off the no ball!
or nine if you are in australia before 1979...

seriously,

9  P Hugo         Smithfield v Aliwal North             Smithfield   
1930/31
9  S Fleming      Marlborough College v Bohally School  Blenheim     
1967/68

8  J Walker       Ashcombe Park v Tunstall              Leek         
1882
8  J Stebbing     Frindsbury v Rainham                  Frindsbury   
1902
8  J Leake        9th Brigade (Canadian EF) v Canadian ASC   France  
1917
8  S Vinisakiki   Lomaloma v HMS Leith                  Suva         
1939/40
8  M Walters      RAEC v Joint Air Transport Establishment 
Beaconsfield  1979

These are bowlers getting the wickets listed in consecutive balls in
minor cricket from cricinfo chances are one of them took 6 off 6..


FOUR in 1st over of match in ODOs:
WPUJC Vaas       SL  v BD   Pietermaritzburg Feb 14, 2003  W
                 Hanan Sarkar, Mohammad Ashraful,
                 Ehsanul Haque and Sanwar Hossain
from an email by Aslam...

considering even Jadeja took 3 wickets in an ODI over, this will be a
long list and considering indian batting collapses, 4 wickets falling
in an over is also probably a common thing (some or all may be runouts
esp. if Inzammam is at other end.)

p.s. for all the world cannot recollect a five wicket over in
international cricket...
