Bus error means something was not quite correctly aligned (yet another ipset bug). The lack of cheap access to big-endian, alignment-sensitive hardware means many codes do not get the testing they deserve :-/ To workaround the alignedness issue, you could take an x86_64 machine and compile a strictly 32-bit ipset on it, and see whether the values are also off. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
