i was pinging a host from a windows machine and made a typo which seemed ha=
rmless. the end result was it interpreted my input differently than what I=
had intended. thinking this was a m$ issue I quickly took the opportunit=
y to poke fun at windows as the senior m$ admin was near by.
"look at how brain dead this os is, it can't even do simple math!"
He is now looking at my screen scratching his head=85..
"watch, i'll open a shell on os x and show you how it can add 0 +10"
I open a shell on os x, same behavior as windows.
" ok so apple is brain dead too, watch, it'll work on linux!"
same deal=85
long story short, it does work as expected on all our hardware routing gea=
r. still not sure what is happening here=85
