Hi Pedro,

No, this is not right.  Let me clarify:

(1) I never told that there are any issues with the tests.  I just
mumbled that the tests should catch such regression though I never
checked if they actually did.

(2) The MAXPAYLOAD calculation in the code below is not fully correct.

It should be

65535 - 20 (ip header) - 8 (icmp part) = 65507 without IP options

OR

65535 - 20 (ip header) - 40 (ip options) - 8 (icmp part) = 65467 with
IP options, ie. whenever you run ping -R.

The code below hardcoded the latter value which is simply wrong.

I wouldn't rely on the fact that you get it from other BSD flavours
and would recommend to have this code reviewed before committing it.
