hi.

there's something odd going on with ICMP error message stuffs.

command line: tcpdump -i ppp0 -vv -e -Stt -s 65535 icmp
demo:

tcpdump-20010629:
995545662.416012 < ip 72: 62.236.224.62 > 62.236.230.23: icmp: host
  193.166.3.2 unreachable - admin prohibited filter for
  62.236.230.23.4017 > 193.166.3.2.smtp: [|tcp]
  (DF) (ttl 67, id 3820, len 60) (ttl 254, id 43788, len 56)

tcpdump-20010709 and 20010719:
995545715.360878 < ip 72: 62.236.224.62 > 62.236.230.23: icmp: host
  %s unreachable - admin prohibited filter 193.166.3.2 unreachable for
  62.236.230.23.4024 > 193.166.3.2.smtp: [|tcp]
  (DF) (ttl 67, id 47221, len 60) (ttl 254, id 43873, len 56)

"%s" doesn't look good to me =)
is "host %s unreachable" redundant? or some messup with the code..?
