I checked, and the specific model which does the fragmentation is the Bridge
GS/3.  The guy who has this problem told me that his gateway gurus had done
all they could to try to get this fixed, but that it hadn't been, at least the
last time he checked (~60 days ago).  He says they tell him the GS/7 fixes
these problems, and his site is apparently converting.  If your network
monitoring doesn't reveal any fragmentation of 552-byte IP length datagrams
(512 byte TCP segment + headers), then you must have gotten a fix, or else
your configuration is enough different that it doesn't happen.  Our code
did not handle IP reassembly before version 1.16.
