bug in ip6t_LOG?

[Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@pbl.ca>]

I've just had series of kernel crashes during boot on my Fedora Core 2
installation (kernel 2.6.8-1.521), with two ethernet interface, first is e100
(Intel Pro100 card or like), and other is 8139too (RealTek RTL8139).  They occur
during Ethernet interface initialization (ifup script), however it seems they
are related to ip6t_LOG module.  /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables file that will make
system crash is included bellow.  Note that this happens only during system boot
(first initialization of eth0, which is Intel Pro100).  I can load this
ip6tables file after system has booted just fine (and bring interfaces up and
down).  But if I have it during system boot, it just crashes the system.

Can somebody try this ip6tables setup, and reboot his machine.  I'm wondering if
I'm just triggering something strange, or if there's a bug somewhere in kernel
(probably in ip6t_LOG, or at least that's where kernel oops message pointed)
that affects everybody...
