Some time ago, Alan, you posted a patch for 2.0.33 on BUGTRAQ. It seems that the 2.0.32 bugfix to prevent teardrop attacks wasn't quite right, and a slight variation ("nestea" might have been the name of the exploit program) could crash 2.0.33.
For some reason, it looks like this patch isn't included in the latest 2.1.xxx kernels, even though I can't see why it shouldn't be. I've attached the patch against 2.1.105.
Please look at the code more closely before coming to such conclusions, the code and logic is very different in the 2.1.x version and the fix is in there just fine. Your change breaks IP fragmentation in 2.1.x so it doesn't work at all.
