Can someone explain the meaning of  "Target name: `ERROR' [64]"?  The 
error is generated from running the iptables list command with the 'very 
verbose' option for every custom 'Target name' used in my iptables 
script.  Two blocks from the output are shown below with the errors 
highlighted by the arrows.  I have a basic understanding of iptables, 
though I haven't seen any documentation that details the 'very verbose' 
output.  I have googled "Target name: `ERROR' [64]" and it appears the 
last block containing "error='ERROR'" is commonly generated from other 
customized scripts, though I haven't seen any mention or concern about 
the error message.  In any case, my custom script appears to function 
properly.  Any help is appreciated.

iptables -Ln -vv
