I've noticed that calling ping with specially crafted IP addresses
tends to lead to problems:
ping 192.168.000<...more zeros here...>000.1
With increasing '0' characters, random ascii characters begin to get
included in the output.
After about 8k of zeros, I get segmentation faults (WinXPh).
Probably a case of GIGO, but reporting it just in case it is
important security-wise. I'm not clued in on these things.
Best regards,
Denis
