Bug Description
using ping -R does not function properly in Ubuntu 14.04.
Copying a ping binary from a Debian machine with the same version of iputils-ping installed works as intended.
Expected behavior (Debian binary)
root@tserv21:~# ./ping -R 209.51.169.78
PING 209.51.169.78 (209.51.169.78) 56(124) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 209.51.169.78: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=9.60 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.605/9.
Faulty behavior (Ubuntu system binary). Note each hop is replaced with the target address.
