Hello!

> behaviour. Is there any reason why Linux sends fragments in this order?

It used to be the most efficient one with Linux defragmenter
used during 2.1. I remade it about 2.2.0 to make particular order
of fragments not so essential, but fragmenter was not updated to look nicer.

Well, if this order really confuses some broken software,
it is reason to think about changing it.
