        ok. But my subject is wrong. In fact, it covers
the general case of forwarded packets after calling ip_defrag.
It means, for example, that if ip_conntrack is running in 2.4 then all 
packets with total_length>mtu are refragmented or linearized. This 
includes the case with 60k packets containing frags where each frag fits
in mtu. But I see, it is a dangerous place to change.
