Byte counters zeroed when creating/deleting chain

Hi,

I noticed that when creating or deleting user-defined chains in ebtables, 
the byte and packet counters for previously added rules are zeroed. 
Firstly, I execute the following commands:

# ebtables -N test
# ebtables -A test -s 00:E0:63:82:7E:A1
# ebtables -A test -d 00:E0:63:82:7E:A1
# ebtables -A INPUT -s 00:E0:63:82:7E:A1 -j test
# ebtables -A OUTPUT -d 00:E0:63:82:7E:A1 -j test

So now ebtables looks like this:
##############################
# ebtables -L --Lc
Bridge table: filter

Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-s 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j test, pcnt = 64 -- bcnt = 8807

Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-d 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j test, pcnt = 54 -- bcnt = 42595

Bridge chain: test, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-s 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j CONTINUE , pcnt = 64 -- bcnt = 8807
-d 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j CONTINUE , pcnt = 54 -- bcnt = 42595
##############################

Now I create a user-defined chain, named mychain:
# ebtables -N mychain

After this, all byte and packet counters are zeroed:
##############################
# ebtables -L --Lc
Bridge table: filter

Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-s 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j test, pcnt = 0 -- bcnt = 0

Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
-d 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j test, pcnt = 0 -- bcnt = 0

Bridge chain: test, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-s 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j CONTINUE , pcnt = 0 -- bcnt = 0
-d 0:e0:63:82:7e:a1 -j CONTINUE , pcnt = 0 -- bcnt = 0

Bridge chain: mychain, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT
##############################

The same thing happens when I delete a user-defined chain.

Some info about my environment:
OS: RedHat Linux (kernel 2.4.20)
Kernel patches applied: ebtables-v2.0.003_vs_2.4.20.diff and bridge-nf- 
0.0.10-against-2.4.20.diff
ebtables version: v2.0.4

Am I missing something here or there's a bug with ebtables?

Regards,
Jason
