If iptables is too full you get a memory allocation problem? While I have 3 GB
of RAM in my server, and also there is also only 193 MB in use in RAM, which
means, I have like 2 GB of RAM left. How can this be a memory allocation
problem, this bug has been here for years, can someone please fix this? Oh, and
sometimes I can add IP's and other times I can't. Really strange.

iptables --version
iptables v1.4.12.1

Remember that iptables replicates the ruleset for each CPU, and so you need a
multiple of that to load a new ruleset.
