Traceroute response endless?

[John Maxwell]

Forgive me if this is obvious or has been covered, but I'm puzzled.

I recently upgraded a webserver to FC1... it's a simple athlon with an 
onboard eth0. I have a static IP address and very little running (just 
sshd, httpd, and sendmail). When I traceroute to this machine, I get an 
endlessly repeating last hop (when I run traceroute from OS X/bsd) or a 
!<10> diagnostic on the last one (when I run it from an RH8 machine).

As far as I can tell from preliminary reading, this indicates a kernel 
bug, but I'm up2dated to the latest 2.4.22.

Everything's working fine, but these traceroute results are worrying me 
a little. Any insights?
