iptables-1.2.7 "-p icmp" - bug

[tobij]

hi there,

i discovered that on my system iptables-1.2.7 shows some strange behaviour.

it seems iptables-1.2.7 is messing with -p icmp - rules. i use the following line for enabling me to ping others:
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp -o $EXT_IF -j ACCEPT

with iptables-1.2.6a this worked quite fine, with iptables-1.2.7 it doesn't work anymore.

iptables does show the rules correctly if executed as "iptables -L -v", but icmp is denied anyways.

if i set the rule like
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o $EXT_IF -j ACCEPT
.. so enabling all protocols for output, icmp starts to work again.

has possibly anybody else discovered those strange behaviour?
