Self Test 1.5.0-b2 (beta)
Includes the some of the bits to see if Type0 should be supported or not.
See config.txt in the testsuite.  RFC5095 was just published on 
Standards Track
deprecating RH0 and specifying the required behavior. ICMP Parameter 
Problem is
now required. The testsuite could not be changed until the RFC was published.

The original fix for the CVE in some distributions like RHEL was to silently
drop the packet.  That behavior needs to be updated.
