Well, I just reproduced the same thing on my test setup here by lowering the MTU on the router in the middle, so it looks like it is almost certainly near slashdot's end, probably with their load balancers. So I'm going to drop a note to them asking them to smarten up... As for the general case, education is the only answer. People need to understand that ICMP matters, and that TCP is complex and you need chimps to work on it, not mere monkeys.
