   I suspect it's related to not recognizing VJ compression packets, but
   I'm not sure.  

I thought that the VJ compression code reverted to sending
uncompressed packets if a retransmit was necessary.

Anyhow, I use:

	active-filter "not (udp port ntp or icmp)"

and have not had problems with the system reconnecting the link when I
do something on an idle connection.

Any chance that it didn't parse as you thought it should.. 

Add some parens and see if it gets better..

	(tcp and (not (tcp port smtp)))'
