[IPTABLES] Strange error in my firewall script //SOLVED

Here is my (humble) script :

#Flush
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -F FORWARD

#Default policy
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT 

#Loopback interface
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

#We can ping us
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p icmp -j ACCEPT


iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

The last line generates this strange error :

iptables: Unknown error 4294967295

Does anyone figure out what my mistake is or is this a bug(less likely) ?

EDIT : problem is solved

Cause :
'state match' module was not built...

Solution :
I rebuilt the module.

Thanks for advice anyway, that's what led me to this.

If only iptables had been more verbose than error ####### , I could have figured it out myself

Re: [IPTABLES] Strange error in my firewall script //SOLVED

I would suspect it is your last rule. It doesn't have any source or destination delimiters.
Try commenting out that line, and rerun the script..just to see.
