   In case Ben is okay with it, I had already sent a patch for this issue
   just beneath his mail, in this very thread. Alfred may you review it ?
   It also contains fix for one wrong assignment for option 'r' in
   parse_opt in ping6.c.

Sorry, I missed it.

Please use your full name, full option names (--debug vs. -r), two
periods after a sentence, and something a bit more descriptive as the
change line.  The ChangeLog shouldn't be a regexp of the actual code
changes, but describe them.

For example,

* ping/ping.c (parse_opt): Handle `--debug' and `--ignore-routing'
simultaneously.
* ping/ping6.c (parse_opt): Likewise.  Set `socket_type' to SO_DONTROUTE.


Other than that, if it is tested, feel free to push.
