Question about nmap (nping) and Record Route option

[Kevin Wilson <wkevils () gmail com>]

Hello,
following:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2006/q3/52
I tried this:
nping --ip-options "R" scanme.insecure.org
And I got:

It seems that in this example , nping did its job great, as I see IP
addresses in the echo reply.

A few minutes I tried again:
nping --ip-options "R" scanme.insecure.org

This time, as you can see below, no results! (I mean no Echo reply at all).
ping works:
ping scanme.insecure.org
PING scanme.insecure.org (74.207.244.221) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from scanme.nmap.org (74.207.244.221): icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=216 ms

nping works:
 nping scanme.insecure.org

An ideas ? I tried a couple time more, I verified that the iptables
service is not running and yet the same.
Below is the log of the second time, with no results, of:
nping --ip-options "R" scanme.insecure.org
