OK, thanks for raising the problem and doing the test Philippe.

And also thanks to Andrew Rowley for suggesting a ttl issue as the

This change should be applied to all the various release packages.  
Attached below is the patch I've used - it just sets a default ttl of  
127. A better fix would be to use whatever the user asks for, so if  
anyone has time ....
