Please note that the netfilter nat protocol helpers for ftp (and irc as well as
other protocols in patch-o-matic) delete the SACKPERM option on-the-fly
from all packets.
It has to, as you run in neverending complications as soon as the nat helper
has to alter the tcp sequence numbers, etc.
So make sure that your tests are not done with ftp control connections when
you do nat and have the helper running.
