You wouldn't happen to be seeing this problem on a PPC box would you? Since Linus's machine is a PPC machine too, that would support my theory that this could be a compiler issue on that platform. Damn, wait, Patrick, I think I know what's happening. The iptables IPT_* verdicts are dependant upon the NF_* values, and they don't cope with Bart's changes I bet. Can you figure out what the exact error would be? This kind of issue would explain the looping inside of ipt_do_table(), wouldn't it?
