I stand corrected, while it is the same, the IP stacks obviously screw it
up... Sorry for the mis information.

[root@raq32 /root]# ping 206.183.25.025
PING 206.183.25.025 (206.183.25.21): 56 data bytes

That would be nice if it were always true.  I used to think it was alwyas
true.  Then I tried it.  Unfortunately it's not always true.  Did you see
the actual tests I ran?  They fail.
