NAK, as this breaks about everything :-o - I tried applying this on top
of "master as of today" (3780ce0e1).  It goes in with a little bit of
help in options.h and compiles fine, but almost all t_client "--client" 
tests break with

run IPv4 ping tests (want_ok), 64 byte packets...
run IPv4 ping tests (want_ok), 1440 byte packets...
run IPv4 ping tests (want_ok), 3000 byte packets...

FAIL: IPv4 ping test (3000 bytes) failed, but should succeed.
run IPv6 ping tests (want_ok), 64 byte packets...
run IPv6 ping tests (want_ok), 1440 byte packets...
run IPv6 ping tests (want_ok), 3000 byte packets...

FAIL: IPv6 ping test (3000 bytes) failed, but should succeed.

Test sets succeeded: 8 8a 9 9a 9b 9x.
Test sets failed: 1 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 2 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 3 4 4a 4b 5 6.

(8+9 are p2p tests, with or without --client, which makes this
a bit more puzzling)


Looking more closely, I see this in the log now:

2022-02-03 14:24:04 /sbin/ifconfig tun0 10.194.2.54 10.194.2.53 mtu 1572 
netmask 255.255.255.255 up

"mtu 1572" while 3780ce0e16c configures

2022-02-03 14:28:24 /sbin/ifconfig tun0 10.194.2.54 10.194.2.53 mtu 1500 
netmask 255.255.255.255 up


- so, the ping fails are explained (client OS fragments to 1572 MTU,
which the client OS on the receiving end rejects).  I couldn't easily
see why this happens, though...


Client config is:

src/openvpn/openvpn --client --ca ... --cert ... --key ... --comp-lzo --verb 3 
--dev tun --proto udp4 --remote conn-test-server.openvpn.org --port 51194

and server pushes this:

2022-02-03 14:28:24 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,route
