I have the same problem, but I don't think tcpdump has a problem.
I can see how the isdn-connection is "stuck" from time to time.
This is what I found in the tcpdump-trace of ippp0:

and the interfaces used elsewhere:
relais (192.168.31.3) at 00:60:08:20:D9:AC [ether] on eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:8C:51:EB:AB
The data in the beginning of the packet is a part of an old
MAC-header of a packet that was from "relais" to eth0.
dst src proto IP-header
ebab 0060 0820 d9ac 0800 4500 0105 2a4f
The data after the "old partial" MAC-header are the data
that were supposed to be sent via ippp0.
And in the 3rd packet:
???? ????
ebab 0060 0820 ff03 0021 4500 0105 2a4f
the sequence ff03 0021 also seen a lot times. I know this sequence
from somewhere, but I can't remember right now.
Anyway, when the IP-headers are wrong, they're always off
by 10 bytes. Could it be that someone does a "memcpy (to + offset, .."
and doesn't make sure that offset is zero?
