	There are some assumptions in esp code about mbuf alignments,
	and it seems that it was not satisfied due to the way the other end.

	If shark.pilhuhn.de is a NetBSD box it should not fragment like this.

	NetBSD box or some other firewall product?)
	Anyway, I'll remove this assumption soon.  Thanks for reporting.
