   This is correct behavior, as documented by RFC1122, which states on
   page 35, under section ``3.2.1.8 Options: RFC-791 Section 3.2'',
   subsection (c) Source Route Options:

	     A host MUST support originating a source route and MUST be
	     able to act as the final destination of a source route.

This imples by omission that it's legal for a host to not act as an
intermediary for source routing.
