I recently discovered that ipchains is rather broken. I noticed the

Unlike ipchains, iptables works perfectly fine, so perhaps we just
need to update Kconfig to discourage ipchains on ia64 (and/or other
64-bit platforms)?
Might want to post this to the netfilter lists or netdev....
Nah, that might actually get the bug fixed.
linux-kernel is always the wrong place to report networking
problems, most networking developers do not read linux-kernel.
They do read netdev@oss.sgi.com so please post things there.

$ fgrep -i ipchain MAINTAINERS

Might want to consider updating the MAINTAINERS file?

I took ipchains not being mentioned in MAINTAINERS as a sign that
nobody wanted to hear bug reports about it, hence my choice of lkml.
Perhaps you prefer to flame people rather than making it easier
for them to find the right mailing-list?
