Oops, sorry. I just realized that the check is too strict. The 64
bit boundary restricton is solely used if we are actually generating
fragments. So I should have used mtu directly instead of maxfraglen.

This should only matter in case of some unusual MTUs but I will send a
corrected patch as soon as I am at home.

Greetings,
