I posted to netdev@vger.kernel.org
(http://marc.info/?t=120351709000004&r=1&w=2) and some comments
suggest that can be a bug or perhaps solved in newer versions of
kernel/iptables.

I'll be very thankful if somebody can test it in his machine (mips)
even in 32 bits or 64 bits machines.

The problematic command is:

iptables -I INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -m limit --limit

That gives this error:
iptables: Invalid argument

And show this in kernel (dmesg) messages:
ip_tables: limit match: invalid size 40 != 32
