>Description:
manual page of ping(8) says:

     -s packetsize
             Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent.  The default is
             56, which translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with
             the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.  The maximum allowed value is
             65467 bytes.

but, the /sbin/ping -s 56 generates only 56 ICMP data bytes. 8 bytes are missing.

NetBSD-5.2 works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
try ping command and dump the packet.

  terminal1# ping -s 56 <any host>

  terminal2# tcpdump -n -vvv -i <your interface> icmp

then you can see the wrong packet.

a) example of NetBSD-6.0 host: (ICMP header + data = 56)
19:08:21.069374 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 255, id 37506, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 76)
    192.168.167.144 > 192.168.167.145: ICMP echo request, id 43799, seq 0, length 56

b) example of NetBSD-5.2 host: (ICMP header + data = 64)
19:03:34.192919 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 255, id 24090, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
    192.168.167.138 > 192.168.167.133: ICMP echo request, id 51505, seq 0, length 64
