ICMP Redirect not working

Hi All,
Seems there is a problem with ICMP Redirect handling in linux kernel
(icmp.c/icmp_redirect() ?). I tried testing against  linux kernels
2.6.32.13  and  2.6.23.1-42.

Description:
1) A host sends ICMP echo request to linux based gateway.
2) ICMP redirect is sent by linux gateway  in response to ICMP request.
3) But instead of  copying exactly the same  Internet header of original ICMP
request into ICMP redirect response -
    a) Linux IP stack incorrectly first decrements the TTL (0x40 --> 0x3F)
    b) Then recalculates the checksum to 0x2387
4) This results in wrong ICMP redirect response from linux gateway to the  host.

Or otherwise please help me understand why host will not like the
above ICMP redirect response from the linux gateway.
