This is an old problem. It happens on 1.2.13. Try these
ping -f -c 100 localhost : 50% loss
ping -f -c 150 localhost : 50% loss
ping -f -c 175 localhost : 50% loss
On my home 486 running 1.2.13, everything after 175 is lost.
ping -f -c 176 localhost
--- localhost ping statistics ---
18206 packets transmitted, 175 packets received, 99% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 3.9/329.9/552.3 ms
