I guess if OpenBSD can wait more than 2 decades to implement proper
path mtu handling, you can wait a year to post this bug fix :-)

I still think the OpenBSD thing can't be intentional, and it's some
bug they probably want to fix and it should therefore be investigated.
It means performance of connections going through such machines is
going to be crap even if I install your patch.
