Some implementations of TCP header compression in SLIP and PPP
reportedly break when this option is in use (causing packets to be
corrupted upon decompression).  Given the way VJ header compression
works -- retransmissions aren't compressed -- this merely causes
*severe* performance degradation (albeit down below the level of most
people's patience).
