>Description:

	If IPV6_PKTINFO is set as a control with sendmsg() then
	IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU state set by setsockopt() is ignored.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	Run named and look at any IPv6 UDP response > 1280 bytes.
	These are all supposed to be fragmented at 1280 as named
	sets IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU to 1 on all IPv6 UDP sockets.

	PMTUD really doesn't work well for DNS which is one of the
	reasons why IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU was defined in the first place.
