Read the help for multiport, the ports are given as comma-seperated
list. For simple ranges you don't need multiport. For source and
destination you must only specify "-m multiport" once.

I have no idea where the crash comes from (works fine here). Please
try to get a backtrace by running the command in gdb:

gdb iptables

(gdb) run -A INPUT ...
<crash>
(gdb) backtrace
