Iptables 1.4.14 breaks -j LOG --log-prefix

The most recent upgrade of Iptables version 1.4.14-2 breaks -j LOG --log-prefix. The defined log prefix does not display in the log, instead " --log-prefix" shows along with the packet info. Prior to this version, it had functioned correctly.

Example:

Rule:

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -d $i -m limit --limit 5/hour -j LOG --log-prefix "Filter BlKD OUTPUT GTW:"

Output:

Jun 25 14:13:37 localhost kernel: [23656.707870] --log-prefixIN= OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.44.10 DST=50.17.216.71 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=27158 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=40970 DPT=80 WINDOW=14600 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

A Netfilter Bugzilla bug report has already been filed by a Debian Linux user. I have added to it.

Just an update, the previously mentioned Netfilter Bugzilla bug report has been merged to "Bug 774 - iptables-restore can't parses the quoted parameter correctly. "  :   http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774

The issue is acknowledged and currently being worked on.

Confirmed... my iptables.log is truly messed up. Thanks for reporting this.

Seems to be the same on Ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.4.x.
