[ This is true.  We don't inherit the DF (Don't Fragment) flag onto the
UDP data, so path MTU discovery doesn't work.  We have to fix this. ]

Yes, you can avoid this by lowering the MTU value for your tap device.
You can do it this way:

	ifconfig tap0 mtu 1448

1448 is the highest value you can set so that UDP packets don't get
fragmented.
