...Might be something crazy in the way that is too picky on tcp option 
ordering which wouldn't surprise me that much... :-) Please try if
the patch below does any difference (on paperino is enough, the gw seems 
innocent here).

I've just thought about this too(!), and it seems that turning of
tcp_timestamps should do similar reorder. But of course, I'll try
not to disturb anymore...

Yeah, you should be right. No need to patch+compile+boot hassle him, 
turning timestamps should be "enough" to move mss into first slot... :-)

If that works we probably need to play around a bit to figure out what
is the actual cause (since it could involve timestamps or mss which the 
sysctl alone cannot prove).
