the only thing that jumps out at me is that all those packets have the
CE bit set (Congestion Experienced).  care to share with us the rule
that creates those log entries?  is it just "-m state --state INVALID -j
LOG"?  i would be very surprised if setting CE caused a packet to
identified as INVALID...

-j
