(usagi-users 00534) Bug in ping6

[Andreas Ferber <aferber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

after receiving 1024 echo-replies from the ping target, all subsequent
echo-replies are considered as dupes, although they are absolutely
valid (and unique) replies. The ICMP sequence is incremented
correctly.

Tested with the ping6 from 20010514 snapshot. ping6 from RedHat
iputils-20001010-1.6x or Debian netbase 3.18-4 does not show this
behaviour.
