description:
Update Dd to rev 1.31 (ipsec changes)
Some hosts and gateways ignore record route, but not "many." Of course,
  more are firewalled. But that's not what was meant here.
Expand flood-pinging admonition to include multicast addresses.
Note flags that conflict with ping under Solaris and FreeBSD.
Reorder BUGS in rough order of significance.
