In local.lists.portmaster-users you write:

In recent kernels, I have noted that you have to turn on:
CONFIG_NO_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY for some cases. Some people had problems when
this option was set. TCP streams would get hosed on a random basis to/from
anywhere. I really noticed it when some hardware upstream was changed (Bell
Global Solutions).

I have also been happy with 2.0.14. It seems to be the most stable version.
I'm currently playing with 2.0.21, though I'm not convinced that it's stable
for my uses.
