You're right.  My patch is totally bogus.

I misread the ip(8) output.  I thought that if src wasn't shown that
rt_src must be zero.  But in fact it means that rt_src == fl4_src.

My problem turns out to be that oif != 0 for the outgoing packets.
Since frag_needed only handle cache entries where oif == 0 it
never has a chance to work.

The application that generated these packets is the RPC code in glibc.
