ping -R (F_RROUTE) will loop at ping.c:1381 until it segfaults or
the unsigned int hlen happens to be less than the size of an IP header:
slippy$ ping -R 192.168.0.101

Segmentation fault
The reason for this is while looping through loose source routing (LSRR)
and strict source routing (SSRR), hlen will become smaller than the IP
header. It may even become negative. This should terminate the loop.
However, when hlen is unsigned, an integer underflow occurs becoming a
large number causing the loop to continue virtually forever until hlen
is either by chance smaller than the lenghth of an IP header or it
segfaults.
