In the ping tool, the option "unlimited requests" doesn't do what it says: only 999 requests are done at most.

[Rodrigo Dias Cruz]

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

The ping tool has two options:

   (i) do at most N ping requests, or
   (ii) do an unlimited number of ping requests

But, when selecting the second option, only 999 ping requests are done at most, not an unlimited number.
