This is getting really weird.  There seems to be more in it than just the 
file itself.  

      ether/E1        CSLIP         ether
world---------skylark----------panda--------test2
       MTU1500        MTU552          LAN

panda has no problems, even with rfc1323=1
test2 cannot fetch if rfc1323=1
test2 cannot fetch if MTU > 552
test2 can fetch if ( MTU == 552 && rfc1323 == 0 )

I'll do some tcpdumping and send the trace.
I have a feeling that the DF flag is the problem.
