Package: traceroute
Version: 2.0.9-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I use the -m or --max-hops option with a low number of hops, I get
a (to me) unintelligible error of "sim hops out of range":

$ traceroute --max-hops=2 www.debian.org
sim hops out of range

This seems to happen for any value lower than 6.

The man page does not seem to specify a minimum for this value, nor do I
understand why there should be one. For reference, traceroute-nanog
handles "-m 2" just as expected.

bye,
Thijs
