Everything I can get my hands on here (Ultrix, SunOS, OSF/1, Irix 5, Solaris)
has this bug. Whee.
Besides, you get really funky results from ping:
3 packets transmitted, 52 packets received, -1633% packet loss
I recall using this in the past to populate ARP tables. never really thought
about the nasty side of it.
