Description Robert Buaas 2008-06-09 02:20:02 UTC
pathchar blows up after analyzing several hops of path.

Fix: 

unknown. (application loaded with pkg_add -r). ports tree not loaded on this machine, but last I looked, the source to pathchar was not provided in the port.
How-To-Repeat: sg.sworth.com# pathchar -s 65.75.78.12 24.244.175.69
pathchar to 24.244.175.69 (24.244.175.69) from 65.75.78.12
 mtu limited to 1500 bytes at local host
 doing 32 probes at each of 45 sizes (64 to 1500 by 32)
 0 sg1 (65.75.78.12)

For me it breaks even without printing anything. I'll mark this port as BROKEN for the time being.

Hi,

since net/pathchar has been effectively broken for more than two years now
and its source code is not available, may I suggest to just remove it and
close this PR?

Regards,
Stefan
