Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
network testing
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
sudo ping -l 20 some lan connected address
   * What was the outcome of this action?
sent 4 or 5 pings asap, then returned to one ping per second (-i)
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected it to send 20 pings asap

weirdly and interestingly, 

sudo strace -o /tmp/ping.out ping -l 20 some lan connected address 

works as I expected, with it preloading 20 pings. also 

sudo ping -l 20 localhost

works as I expected, with it preloading 20 pings.
