I dunno how much I can do with this. Does "disable vjcomp" and
"deny vjcomp" make the problem go away ? If so, it looks as if
something in the bit that uncompresses a packet is scribbling on the
return address. You'll need to delve a bit deeper to try to get more
info.
I haven't heard of this problem before.
