Package: traceroute

Upgraded to lenny 5.0.0, and since then traceroute's reported times are
incorrect.
I experience this problem on ubuntu 8.04 and greater.
I replaced the PC's motherboard (Gigabyte GA-K8NS) with a new one but
this made no difference.
PC is an AMD64 3400+ with 1GB DDR.
The results are consistent and something has definitely broken it since
Etch.
Here is an example output to show the difference/problem:
r...@linuxfw:/etc/ppp/accs # traceroute 172.16.1.1
