tcp options != ip options, which would probably be punted.

Is y.y.y.y the IP address of the router, or some downstream device?  If it's the router, then you need to install copp and block or rate limit this to nothing at all.  If it's a downstream box, this traffic should
not be punted.   Did you blow the TCAM on this box at any stage?  If so,
a reboot might solve this.
