How can I do a string match in iptables without using ipt_string.

ipt_string appears to have been broken for awhile, and with 2.6.11 the
fix is beyond me.  If this has been broken for so long, then what have
people been using?

I am using it to match the attempted buffer overflow packets coming in
on port 80 so my apache logs dont fill up with crap, and to give a bit
more protection.
