Bug#2560: fping doubles hosts

[joey@finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE (Martin Schulze)]

Package: netstd
Revision: 1.25-1

hosts double. This is a result of a missing bzero() in the code. I
append a quick patch to fix this.

          while(fgets(line,132,ping_file)) {
+	   bzero (host, strlen (host));
            sscanf(line,"%s",host);
               if ((!*host) || (host[0]=='#'))  /* magic to avoid comments */
                 continue;
