RE: nping command line parsing: set source IP address

[Perry Hooker <phooker () terraechos com>]

Yes, I built Nping from source.  "make distclean" followed by rebuild had no effect.  FWIW, this behavior also 
manifests on our servers running RHEL Server release 6.2 Beta (Santiago).  Please let me know what details I can 
provide to help reproduce this behavior.

Thanks for this report. However I can't reproduce this at all. Did you build Nping from source? Try "make distclean" 
followed by a rebuild.
