Decreasing the MTU with this bug only causes more problems; it causes the
packets to fragment MORE often.  I see that Mr. Paul has done a more detail
analysis later on.

When I had the issue, I could decrease the MTU to 200 bytes, and the
connection would fail at a payload of ~160 (20b for the IP header, 20b for
the IPIP header), even with non-tcp data, like ping.
