Nope, the problem is behind the keyboard. Why in the world are you sending
ping packets of that size?

Umm, what?! What's wrong with 2,953-byte ping packets? I routinely use
large pings to test fragmentation, reassembly, path MTU blackholes,
and the like. I don't think I'm alone.

(Mind you I agree that a crash is hardly the right response from ping)

Umm, what?! Ping didn't crash. It continued all the way to the end and
wrote out its statistics.

Congratulations on a completely useless reply. ;)
