According to our experience, it's actually not the "ping" which is
triggering the problem, but the telnet output you see (i. e. TCP/IP
traffic).

You will probaly see the same  behaviour  by  running  someting  like
"telnet  target_ip  chargen  >/dev/null"  instead  of  the flood ping
(assuming you have enabled the chargen service on the target.
