I'll seize the opportunity to point to a traceroute reimlementation
I wrote that does not require any s bit. It uses the same Linux 2.4 kernel
features as tracepath from ANK's iputils package, but it walks and talks
pretty much the same as the original, i.e. I've tried to make it as compatible
wrt command line and output format as possible.

Oh, and it's a bit faster than the BSD traceroute because it sends
out several queries in parallel.

You can find this thing at http://verein.lst.de/~okir/traceroute.
