Are you sure of that, I have an uptime of;
6:03pm  up 16 days,  1:12,  4 user,  load average: 0.07, 0.07, 0.02

And if I do iptables -L all the rules that were initalized on the last reboot 
are still there. (maybe my cron isn't working....

It looks to me like they flush and full with, traffic rules, like
acctin and acctout rules, I don't think they flush all the rules.
