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.
(I know nothing about Shark - sorry for dumb question, is it
NetBSD box or some other firewall product?)
Anyway, I'll remove this assumption soon. Thanks for reporting.
