Please don't "fix" this "bug"

The interface-mtu option is a valid method for routers to tell computers
what their MTU is, so as to avoid unnecessary fragmentation. For
example, I have a router that reports an MTU of 1412; anything above
this does indeed get fragmented.

While I would certainly be able to add the option myself, this is not
true for everyone, and there is no reason to break perfectly functional
software in order to support broken routers. Instead, I suggest
filtering out obviously bogus MTUs such as anything below 200. (There
are some very low-MTU links out there)
