Yeah. Thanks, Jeff.

Actually, I checked after I sent that earlier message and found the same 
thing.

"netstat -M" just tries to read the pseudo-file /proc/net/ip_masquerade". 
If it is not present (as it is not in 2.4.x kernels using iptables), it 
responds with a "masquerading not supported by the kernel" message. Wonder 
how this one has been missed for so long (it happens on standard Debian 
too, not just LEAF).

Pfui!
