I suggest you take this upstream. Apparently there are quite a few
issues between the various kernel and iptables verions and also the
different architectures.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639026 seems to be the issue
you are experiencing.
(Note that 4294967295 = 2^32-1 and 18446744073709551615 = 2^64-1, which
makes me believe the reporter of the above bug runs on x86_64 and you're
probably running a 32 bit system. These things should be mentioned when
you report bugs as well as the CentOS and package versions you are
conducting your tests on/with.)
Try to google for
site:bugzilla.redhat.com iptables: Unknown error 4294967295
and
site:bugzilla.redhat.com iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615
for more related bugzilla entries.
Regards,
Leonard.
