With 1.1.26, I see:
0009:Call iphlpapi.IcmpCreateFile() ret=00494fde WARNING: Trying to use ICMP (network ping) will fail unless running as root 0009:Ret iphlpapi.IcmpCreateFile() retval=ffffffff ret=00494fde 0009:Call KERNEL32.RaiseException(0eedfade,00000001,00000007,0032f870) ret=00494ffe
Perhaps this should be closed INVALID/WONTFIX?
If it works as root, then the bug is invalid. Some users may need that functionality, so it's not a wontfix.
