Well, some implementations of Van Jacobsen header compression were
notoriously buggy and caused dropped connections and TCP/IP stalls.
Conceivably a service might compile a list of users using particular
systems and disable it just for those people using buggy
implementations.
I don't know of anyone doing this, and the buggy implementation I
remember was in the Annex servers, so it's unlikely you would have
customers using it, but it's conceivable.
