Package: traceroute
Version: 1:2.0.20-1
Severity: important

Hi Maintainer

Running traceroute with the --mtu option gives strange output on recent kernels:

$ traceroute --mtu 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 65000 byte packets
1 * 0.015 ms * 0.007 ms * 0.006 ms
2 * 0.006 ms * 0.007 ms * 0.006 ms
3 * 0.006 ms * 0.006 ms * 0.006 ms
4 * 0.006 ms * 0.008 ms * 0.007 ms
5 * 0.007 ms * 0.006 ms * 0.006 ms

I see similar numbers up to hop 30 and they appear almost instantly.
In Sid, Ubuntu Utopic and Ubuntu Trusty, traceroute 2.0.20 produces
output as above but 2.0.19 and 2.0.18 all segfault (as in #750759)
with the --mtu option.

In Ubuntu Precise (kernel 3.2), traceroute 2.0.18, 2.0.19 and 2.0.20
all work correctly with the --mtu option.

Regards
Graham
