Thanks for the report.
I think I'll rework it to use the per-message option as you suggested in
a previous mail, so that probe-mtu automatically triggers dont-fragment on
the affected interface. One configuration option less.
Then, after you confirm it still works for you, I'll merge into master.
Thanks again,
