Looks like the bugs in the MASQ code which don't understand or try to
deal with TCP options, which Linux now spits out all the time.

Nigel and the other IP MASQ maintainers are working on this.

Guess what, if I'm correct (I think I am) this is a neat way to crash
any Linux box out there running IP MASQ, it would be interesting if
a 2.1.9* Linux box talking thru a Linux 2.0.x MASQ box crashes the
2.0.x machine.
