Is this a _real_ icmp packet, or a ghost in the machine?

Ths was in a portscan I got around midnight 03/30/02. It is in
sequence with the IP ID ahead of it, and after..

And it _didn't_ have the  Type: Code: ID: Seq:  data line as all other
packets usually do..

The DgmLen: is clearly bogus, unless snort is on crack..

Oh yeah, snort 1.8.2 build 86, running on Linux 2.2.14.

Please upgrade to snort-stable off the downloads page on
www.snort.org.  That was fixed post 1.8.3


I'll take that as meaning the correct answer was:

b) a ghost in the machine

Thnx...
