I think I know what may have caused the problem: I patch from Rusty Russell
that I forgot about. I use RPM to build kernels, and I forgot to deactivate
this patch. So it wasn't a vanilla kernel.

    Stuped me!

Sorry about the confusion. I'll forward you the patch, just for your
information:

Agreed.  The 2.2 masq code didn't do this, and hence the "don't tcpdump on
masq host"
recommendation.

Please try this patch (compiles at least),
Rusty.
