                    18446744073709551615
           Product: iptables
           Version: 1.3.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: iptables
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: mvolaski at aecom.yu.edu


I just incorporated kernel 2.6.16.1 into my Gentoo system.

The firewall script no longer functions properly. Standard iptables calls return 
iptables: unknown error 18446744073709551615

The computer is using IPv4 and not IPv6, which has not been compiled into the
kernel.

iptables is version 1.3.5.
