Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.6.0debian1-5
Followup-For: Bug #468170

The -m limit bug reported here appears to be due to the same cause as
an issue I'm seeing with -m mark, -m connmark, -j MARK, -j CONNMARK, and
-j CLASSIFY - I'm seeing these:

ip_tables: mark match: invalid size 24 != 16

repeated in the log whenever I try to run something along the lines of

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle --dst 1.2.3.4 -m mark --mark 1 -j MARK
--set-mark 66

to track data moving from my ppp interface to addresses on my LAN. 

Google shows a number of results that suggest it's a mismatch in data
types transferred between userspace and the kernl - the iptables
developers seem to be aware of the issue, but I don't know if it's being
sorted out or not. I tried building a version of 1.4.0 manually and
testing it, but the result was the same.
