I was doing the tests with a browser; however, it seems that a wget of that same 
page is much more effective at triggering the problem. Now I have a script that 
tries 60 passes of

wget https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847525

I usually get failures on the first or second try. A kernel built from "git 
checkout c862815" gets the following wget output:

With kernel 3.6-rc2, the error changes to the following:

I added the PMTU patch to kernel 3.6-rc2 - nothing changed.

Anything else to try?

Thanks,
