Bug Description
Seen on version 0.85 as packaged in Arch Linux.
Looks like a regression, as per this report over at the Ubuntu tracker:
https:/
Description is almost exactly the same as the issue there - when pinging any host over a certain level of latency, the last three hops (four in the previous report, oddly) always show a fixed amount of packet loss.
As in the linked report, the output will show 10% loss if 10 iterations are called, 33.3% loss if 30 iterations are called and so on. Running in live mode does not show this loss.
The following addresses are in Sydney and the UK respectively, if you want a good test:

Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
