    I haven't figured out out yet, and I'm ignoring some issues that do not
    seem unique to the affected system. Now I need some help if someone is
    able to provide it.

    It seems clear to me that something or some things were broken on that
    system when "bad characters" were set free on low-level software on the
    system. I have googled all combinations without finding what I think I
    need to know.

    Referencing man iptables, look at "TARGET EXTENSIONS" and below that "LOG"
    and then "--log-prefix _prefix_". There is no detail on acceptable or
    valid characters or how they may or may not be used. I've used this
    before without issue, but it seems clear to me now that this is how the
    breakage occurred.

    My Bugzilla account for Netfilter/iptables is on the affected system,
    which I am trying to keep disconnected as much as possible. Can someone
    please point me to a ruleset? If not, I'll try to find a way to get to
    Bugzilla.

    I'll also need to know some more about repairing/replacing
    bonobo-activation-server before I can know if that system is repairable.

    Thanks.
