Ah OK. One last thing before I'll pass it on. There was one 64 bit
architecture where iptables already worked with 32 bit userspace for
some reason. I would like to make sure that it still works before it
goes in because I can't debug it if it fails afterwards. I don't
recall which arch it was, but I think Martin had one of these machines.
Martin, could you give the compat patch a try?
