> 7. Problem description:
> On the alpha platform, ICMP packets were not correctly interpreted
> because of a 64 bit long problem.
>
> On all platforms, ICMP checksums were incorrectly computed for packets
> containing an odd number of bytes. In addition, "ping -f localhost"
> does not drop packets.
>

>
> You should install the new packages by typing (assuming Red Hat 6.0/i386)
> rpm -U netkit-base-0.10-31.i386.rpm
> rpm -U traceroute-1.4a5-16.i386.rpm
