Ok, this is the problem:

  MTU of next hop: 0

Have you installed my patch on the gateway machine too, or only on your
host?

MTU of next hop should not be zero under normal circumstances.  It indicates
a bug somewhere in the normal IP forwarding path.

Is this the correct packet flow:

  ... --> dc0 --> gif0 --> IPSec --> fxp0 --> Internet --> ...
