IP Masq Network Problem

I've been using IP Masq for quite some time with a good deal of
success. BUT, I did find that I had to remove VJ Header compression
in my pppd options in order for it to work correctly. It seems that
if the header is compressed and the packets are fragmented, the
packet will fail checksum when it is defragmented. This problem
existed in 2.0.31 still and in 2.1.57 (last I tried.) It's not a
problem for me to keep the '-vj' option in the pppd config, but I
wouldn't mind that little extra bandwidth.

Important config options are something like:
IP Masq
Always Defrag
IP Firewalling
etc..

I just thought that maybe this should be mentioned before 2.0.3? is
considered stable and done...
