Getting this fixed is necessary to have FreeBSD ipfw work properly
with IPv6.  As it is, I'm dropping perfectly valid IPv6 traffic on
my name servers, e.g.

% grep 'Feb  5.*Invalid Fragment Header' /var/log/messages | wc -l
      16

Let's see if requests from more people will change things.

And for the FreeBSD committers: What can be done to push a needed
patch along (for those of us without commit privileges)?
