But surely the operating system should re-assemble the two fragments before 
passing it to the application, even for UDP, no? 

Forgot to mention some facts in my original post : Erlang is R9C-0. Both hosts 
are connected to the same Ethernet segment and the MTU is 1500, so there 
really should be no fragmentation of UDP packet with 1343 bytes payload.

Operating system on both sending and receiving hosts is Linux, running a 
RedHat kernel called 2.4.20-30.7.
