SubjectRe[2]: Ping with a 65510 bytes packet
     Apologies - I know it's off topic, but is there any information on 
which other systems this can be exploited on? I've killed a Linux
machine with it, and I know it causes AIX to dump as well. I've tried
it on Solaris 2.4 to no effect. My office are positively shitting
themselves, as our firewall guy is away for a month (I know, I
know...)

Any information I get, I will knock up into a web page and post the
URL FYI...

TIA, TTFN.

Mike

Everybody try this and lock up your linux system? I did. It works as
reported except it didn't reboot my box, just lock it up solid-like.
