    Hi, this is a known problem with iptables when you have
    a 64bit kernel and a 32bit userspace. It is being tracked as
    #298155.

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298155

    I believe that it is reasons like this that the pure64 apprioach is
    prefered these days. That is available at amd64.debian.org.

    I also believe there are patched patckages floating about to
    address this problem, and at the very least there is a patch at the
    URL above. Unfortunately as I understand it, its a difficult problem
    to solve without breaking 32bit user-space 32-bit kernel systems,
    which are common to say the least.

    I'm closing this bug as its really a duplicate of 298155.
    Please post to that bug if you want to continue discussion
    of this issue. I have addid it, Sebastian Filippini, and the
    recipients of his message to the CC list of this one.
