While debugging some new network code, I noticed that 'ping' does not correctly function when given a size which is odd. It looks like the ping program is generating incorrect ICMP checksums for these odd-sized ICMP echo-request packets. Even pinging the loopback interface fails (of course, I first suspected the new code that I was working on!) Time to dig out the 4.3 RENO version, I guess. louie
