fingerprinting / pf and return-rst



the reset packet returned by a "return-rst" rule in pf differs slightly
from a regular reset packet on a non-listening port (namely pf does
not set dont fragment)

is this behaviour known?  i apoligize if this has already been
brought up, i did not see it in the lists.  the machine is
running -current from a couple weeks ago.
