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?
You're right, good catch. IPT_RETURN is interpreted internally by
ip_tables, but since the value changed it isn't recognized by ip_tables
anymore and returned to nf_iterate() as NF_REPEAT. This patch restores
the old value.
