sorry, but I doubt this solved your fragmentation problem. To be sure I 
suggest you once again initiate a ikev2 connection and capture the 
packets with tcpdump on both sides at the same time. Something like

root at bt:~ # tcpdump -i eth0 -n -v -s 0 'host 192.168.4.10'

root at karma:~ # tcpdump -i eth0 -n -v -s 0 'host 192.168.4.87'

And I would also like to see

# tail -f /var/log/messages | grep 'charon:'

from both sides.

Btw. did you read the strongswan documentation about ikev1 
fragmentation? Especially the part since which strongswan version it is 
available? Ikev1 doesn't help here.

Regards,
Volker
