Fascinating! I had no idea that MTU settings could actually
*break* some applications, rather than degrading performance.
Me neither. The real culprit that causes applications
over ssh to fail is a router in the path blocking all ICMP
packets, I believe, rather than the small MTU setting
itself, although I haven't finally proved this. Changing
the MTU value is a just a work-around rather than a fix.
It was fortunate the small MTU size was in a router I have
access to!
