Kernel network issue with Juniper JUNOS stateful firewall

Okay, I've got an odd one, and I'm hoping a kernel developer can at
least point me in the right direction.

I've got a Linux box (Fedora Core 5 and kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5),
sitting behind a Juniper J2300 router (running JUNOS 7.3R2.6),
attempting to FTP to an Alphaserver running Tru64 (5.1B or 4.0G).

With that combination and a stateful firewall enabled on the Juniper, I
do not get the FTP banner when I open an FTP connection.  The connection
just sits there.  This is not the traditional FTP problems (active vs.
passive, reverse DNS lookup, authentication, etc.).

If I downgrade my Linux box to the FC5 release kernel
(2.6.15-1.2054_FC5), it works fine.  If I upgrade to the rawhide kernel
(2.6.17-1.2583.fc6), it does not work.

Any other combination of OSes works (FTP from WinXP to Tru64, FTP from
Linux to Linux or Windows).  An FC4 client with a (IIRC) 2.6.16 kernel
also works to Tru64.

Now, this appears to be a Juniper JUNOS bug (and our Juniper SE is going
to open a case), but what could have changed between Linux kernels
2.6.15 and 2.6.17 that would trigger it?  I'm hoping to narrow this down
somehow to help Juniper find the problem.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
