So which TAHI test was this? Have they tracked down a commit that caused this to break?I use TAHI 4-0-3 RFC1981, if you can access my website , please see http://10.66.65.20/self_test/ipv6-core/Self_Test_4-0-3_F10/
That looks like an internal link. Either way, I'm guessing this was test 13 (Checking For Increase in PMTU), which passed for RHEL 5.3 recently I think.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.i686Hmmm, I would take a look at this commit: commit b5c15fc004ac83b7ad280acbe0fd4bbed7e2c8d4 Author: Herbert Xu [off-list ref] Date: Thu Feb 14 23:49:37 2008 -0800 [IPV6]: Fix reversed local_df test in ip6_fragment I managed to reverse the local_df test when forward-porting this patch so it actually makes things worse by never fragmenting at all. Thanks to David Stevens for testing and reporting this bug. Bill Fink pointed out that the local_df setting is also the wrong way around.
So can you verify your kernel has this fix? Or can you run a later kernel and see if it's fixed?
I check using the command, get the following info: #cat /proc/net/dev_snmp6/eth0|grep -i frag Ipv6FragOKs 0 Ipv6FragFails 0 Ip6FragCreates 0
You'll actually want to look at eth1, which is where the pings are going out, I was just giving that as an example. -Brian
