mtr --report crashes with buffer overflow

[Graham Beneke]

mtr crashes with "*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated" when using any report mode switch: -r, --report, or --report-wide

Impacts both amd64 and arm64 equally.

Issue appears to already be fixed upstream: https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/issues/469
