         New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the MAC
           address to use in the DHCP request
         The check_dhcp -r and -s options now accept host names, too
+        Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms
 
 1.4.9 4th June 2006
         Inclusion of contrib/check_cluster2 as check_cluster with some improvements
