I sent this about a month ago to Yoshifuji Hideaki but didn't hear anything.
Perhaps it could use a wider distribution.

Hi,

I'm not an expert in C code or in iputils but I think I found a
typographical error in this commit:

http://www.linux-ipv6.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=gitroot/iputils.git;a=commitdi
ff;h=d5e3dcb81ff3828fa40eb4e8c562ca7015d7ac6a

The previous version printed the icmp_seq inline within ping_common.c, but
in your diff you are now invoking a function void pr_echo_reply().
Unfortunately, it looks like "icmp_seq" is spelled wrong: you have it
spelled as "icmp_req".

I discovered this when trying to use a tool that depended on the spelling of
"icmp_seq" and it failed.
