The ping man page says:
/etc/ping [ -r ] [ -v ] host [ packetsize ] [ count ]
but it should say
/etc/ping [ -r ] [ -v ] host [ packetsize [ count ] ]
Okay, I've put it on the list. I'm afraid it may not be fixed before
next summer, though.
(is there any better place than bugs to send documentation trivia?)

Well, there is the new "doc-bugs" list, but at the moment, that goes
to "bugs" anyways, so this is just as good.
