I'm thinking I'll need to dig into the exact revisions of IOS that are running, and stuff like that.  You don't happen to know yours offhand, do you?

Oh, no.  If it were something that obvious, it would be totally broken and easy to find the problem.  Remember, I can connect to the OI machines, and all the other machines in the network.  Routing is not confused.  I can do any type of traffic to the non-OI machines, no problem, and I can even do certain types of traffic to/from the OI machines, without problem.  (I can type ssh commands ad nauseum, never have a problem because it's a single character at a time.)  The only problem is certain types of traffic, going to the OI machines.  (If I paste a command on the ssh prompt, sometimes it works, and sometimes the response packet on my laptop says "incoming packet garbled on decryption" or whatever.)
