Bug Description
Version iputils-20071127.
The feature is in the code but is broken. If an ICMP reply arrives with a bad checksum, it is reported as OK. It should display a C in flood mode and "BAD CHECKSUM!" otherwise, and add a special mention (+n corrupted) in the ping summary.
(Very small) patch attached.
