screend doesn't do any reassembly.  It does have a fragment cache so
that it can drop or pass fragment trailers if it dropped or passed the
fragment leader.  This keeps you from wasting bandwidth with fragements
that wont reassemble and the associated icmp errors and the end system
resources and closes a possible communications channel of just passing
fragment tailers but it doesn't really help in the fragment filtering
problem.
