Perhaps lokkit was upgraded with RH 8.0, which I have not migrated to yet. RH 7.1 lokkit uses ipchains, I'm pretty sure. Iptables is newer than ipchains.

For example, if you inadvertently had a jump to a chain that contained an explicit jump to some point upstream of itself? This is just a wild guess, without seeing your configuration. I've never actually seen iptables crash! When you do solve the problem, could you please post the cause and the fix, so the rest of us can dodge the same bullet? That would be great!
