I don't speak for Athena or Bugs or anything else but myself.
You are correct that ping in Ultrix is not Athena Ping. You can
get the effects of Athena ping by executing the command:
ping -l hostname
Which will give you what you want. I should also point out that the
SunOS ping is similar in effect, except you need to use "-s" instead
of "-l" to get the effect you want.
Whether or not this is a bug is up to someone else, but I thought I'd
tell you a workaround...
