Same here with 2.1.122 UP (K6-2 @ 4x75):

You see something strange, here?
Why do I always have 766 packets received regardless how many I send ?
If I do ping -l 2000 localhost, the first 383 (0 thru 382) packets are
answered, the rest is dropped and the next is 2001.
766/2 = 383.
What is the math behind that?
