Minor errata: FreeBSD 8.2 does support atomic fragments (but not
draft-gont-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments). It was *FreeBSD 8.0* the system
discarding the atomic fragments.

Therefore, the corrected table is:

       OS          | Atomic fragments |     Improved Processing
-------------------+------------------+------------------------------
FreeBSD 8.0        |        No        |             No
FreeBSD 8.2        |       Yes        |             No
FreeBSD 9.0        |       Yes        |             No
Linux 3.0.0-15     |       Yes        |            Yes
NetBSD 5.1         |       No         |             No
OpenBSD-current    |       Yes        |            Yes
Solaris 11         |       Yes        |            Yes
Win 7 Home Premium |       Yes        |             No
