No, the first half of your message is a user question and suitable for
fedora-list.

Why? It's a feature specific to Red Hat's integration of iptables into the
system. Actually, this new option is very good because unloading netfilter

For me it's 100% reproducible with <= Fedora Core 1 kernel on rh73, but
also Red Hat Linux 9 (IIRC).
