Hi Dave!

Some people use REJECT in the OUTPUT chain (rejecting locally generated
packets).  This didn't work anymore starting with some fixes we did in 2.4.22. 
A dst_entry for a local source doesn't contain pmtu information - and
thus the newly-created packet would instantly be dropped again.

I'll send you a 2.6.x merge for this later.

Please apply the following fix, thanks
