Racoon/IPSEC Tunnel in 9.2 vs 10.0

I have used IPSEC tunnels w/ racoon to establish point to point VPN 
connections for a long time, with great success. I recently decided to 
upgrade one of my endpoints to 10.0-RELEASE from 9.2-RELEASE-p3. I 
didn't do an upgrade but did a fresh installation of 10.0-RELEASE, but 
applied the identical VPN configuration that was working in 
9.2-RELEASE-p3. The tunnels came up fine, and setkey -D shows that keys 
had been generated, connectivity appeared to be working at first glance. 
I then started to work as normal through my VPN with things like RDP, 
SQL Server, and other protocols, where I found that connectivity started 
then came to a dead halt (not ICMP, which always works fine). I did 
another fresh install of 9.2-RELEASE-p3, applied the config, and 
everything worked as expected.

I've read a lot about MTU's and fragmented traffic, but I'm trying to 
figure out where I should be looking to fix things up. Something 
obviously changed. I do use PF, and I know PF underwent some big 
changes, so maybe it's a PF problem, but I thought I'd post here first. 
I'm using the same PF config on the 10.0 system as I did on the 9.2, of 
course making sure interfaces were all named properly and whatnot.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Matt
