Yeah, too bad Redhat was so mysterious about this. The command line
options aren't even compatible. I wouldn't mind if arptables_jf became
the version used by all distros, but I'll maintain my own version as
long as it's used. On my laptop arptables_jf version 0.0.8 segfaults
with -L (built from sources).
I'll remove the -o -g stuff in ebtables' and arptables' Makefiles :-)

cheers,
Bart
