Hi Lorenzo,
Thank you for bringing this up,
it seems that you have a better understanding than mine on the original patch.

Anyway I'm wondering why you didn't include this change:

> -             if (!working_recverr) {
> +             if (!using_ping_socket && !working_recverr) {

inside receive_error_msg()
The code in the if block try to execute a setsockopt(icmp_sock, SOL_RAW, 
ICMP_FILTER, ...) which is only possible on a raw socket.
What am I missing?
Thank you for your patience,
I hope this time your patch get accepted,

Salvatore Mesoraca
