The new locking code in ip[6]tables 1.4.20 prevents iptables and
ip6tables from running simultaneously unless the -w option is specified
on both. You can work around this problem temporarily by using a
capabilties file:

        shorewall show -f capabilities > /etc/shorewall/capabilities
        shorewall6 show -f capabilities > /etc/shorewall6/capabilities

I'll have a patch to the compiler available in a day or so.
