Thanks for pointing this out Jeffrey.  The problem is in the parsing
code in detection-plugins/sp_ipoption_check.c line 163:

    else if(!strncasecmp(data, "lsrr", 4))
    {
        ds_ptr->ip_option = IPOPT_LSRR;
        return;
    }
    else if(!strncasecmp(data, "lsrre", 5))
    {
        ds_ptr->ip_option = IPOPT_LSRR_E;
        return;
    }


'lsrre' was matching at the first condition.  Not sure yet what release
the fix will go in, but in the meantime the attached patch can be used.

Thanks
Todd
