It's rather difficult to reproduce because this problem
occurs from time to time and my firewall rules are too
complex to know exactly where is the problem.
For example, I had a rule in my /etc/sysconfig/iptables
like :
"-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j
ACCEPT"
after applying some modifications to other rules, this line
changed to :
"-A INPUT"
In fact, as far as I remember, I did a "unusual thing" :
- I clicked 'cancel' on my browser after adding a rule (on
the "rule modification" page, before webmin showed to
me the list of rules) and made another rule. I noticed
there was two rules created and deleted the first one.
Is there a problem with this ?

I can see how cancelling the addition of a rule could cause
it not to be added properly, but simply editing a rule
should never cause options to be lost.
If this happens consistently, I would be interested in
seeing a copy of your iptables config file ..
