Mystery solved. Man, this idea of keeping up with the distros and
iptables variants is a little insane.
Debian's setup ends up using m_ipt.c for anything less than iptable
1.4.11. Kudos to the debian iproute maintainer.
Fedora on the other hand seems to going to m_xt.c
(This is why i asked for your Config earlier).
In any case, your patch is correct. So i will go sign off on it;
its just nobody else had to deal with that (or reported it).

Thanks for your patience Alex.

cheers,
