Comment (by mbletsas):

 I looked around in the mailing lists about the same problem and it seems
 that out of order packet fragments might be causing it:

 : Note that I am going through a Linksys router.  It is a BEFSR41
 : firmware "1.44.2, Dec 13 2002".  I may try to upgrade it.

 This is the first thing i would recommend.  I've experienced exactly the
 same MAC corruption using OpenSSH through a BEFSR41 with that firmware;
 a later firmware (1.45.7, 2003-07-31) fixed the problem.  Beware and
 write down all your configuration settings; this one caused a factory
 reset after installation, if memory serves.

 This (slightly reformatted) changelog entry may be a telltale:

 Ver #.          Date            Description

                                   of order
