traceroute -s option doesn't check that the provided source address
exists on the host, even when not running as root.

I believe this used to be checked by the bind() call below, but
this code is not activated anymore and has not been for a long
time, and even reactivating it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

This has been broken since FreeBSD 2.2.6 at least (oldest release
I have access to).

I'll be working on a fix unless someone beats me to it.

#ifndef IP_HDRINCL
                if (bind(sndsock, (struct sockaddr *)&from, sizeof(from)) < 0) {
                        Fprintf(stderr, "%s: bind: %s\n",
                            prog, strerror(errno));
                        exit (1);
                }
#endif
