If windows inherited this bug from unix, I would say that there is just as good a chance that free unix implementations will inherit bugs from each other, if not a much greater one.

Linux, almost uniquely, didn't use the BSD TCP stack. Windows did (for a long time, if not anymore).
So, no, unless it was an algorithmic error Linux would not have inherited the ping of death (at least not *that* ping of death).
