   I have already seen this on firewall and max frame size negociation in   
   TCP. For example, if your TCP session negociates 1500 bytes as max frame   
   size but something in the middle is performing fragmentation (tunneling   
   over UDP, IPsec) then the remote firewall can suppress additionnal   
   fragment (ie linux ipfilter/iptables).   
      
   You can try to discriminate this behavior with a packet sniffer to see   
   if fragments are built and dropped by an equipment on the path.   
      
   Hope this helps.
