2578 from Julian A. Likely not strictly needed, but it doesn't hurt
and protects ping against possible buffer overflows if the resolver
were to return large IP addresses.
used spaces to align the second line under the program name.
2) Cache uid after call to setuid(getuid()) so we don't waste a system call
for each packet with a call to getuid for the -v case.
3) Update manual to reflect new restriction on -l from last delta.

2) Must be root to run preload (OpenBSD ping.c 1.8)
3) Don't print all replies unless verbose and root (from idea in
OpenBSD ping.c 1.10 and 1.11) to avoid leaking information available
only to root.
4) Remove unused h: from option string to getopt.
5) Make the compiler happy with exit(0) (Lite-2?)

Good candidate for 2.2 and 2.1 (as are many of the 1.17 changes).
Do a better job of argument parsing.
Don't permit ping -f to a multicast address (very antisocial).
Don't permit -L, -I, -T options with unicast addresses.
Ensure that we ask for only AF_INET addresses (should close PR#2584).
Return <sysexits.h> error codes for failures. Document this.
Fix man page to identify the author and put sections in correct order.

by comparing FreeBSD & OpenBSD sources/logs for the auditing process.

Add '-a' audible flag, so terminal will beep upon receipt of a reply
packet. Useful for debugging ethernet runs, among other things.
/etc/rc started with "daemon" settings.
"window=" started with "default" settings
gettys started with "default" settings.
This should open the way to junk kernel options MAX_{OPEN,CHILD}
and the corresponding sysctl vars.
- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set
was an error.
- Check for failure where no checks were present.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
