Bug #522583: fping broken on some arm systems?

[Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org>]

Hello debian-arm,

#522583 has a report of fping working strangely on an armel system.
A user of my 'smokeping' package is suffering from the same problem, so
I'm interested in looking into it. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the
issue myself, neither on my lenny NSLU2 nor a qemu emulated armel system.

Could a few armel users please install fping 2.4b2-to-ipv6-16.1 from
squeeze or sid (it's also installable on a plain lenny system) and report
back (either privately to me or to 522583@bugs.debian.org) if they see
things like

  # fping -C 1 127.0.0.1
  127.0.0.1 : [0], 84 bytes, 1762304 ms (1762304 avg, 0% loss)

  127.0.0.1 : 1762304.04

(the ms value should normally be less than 1 here)

and/or the reported nonsense duplicate lines like

  # fping -ei 1000 -c 10 194.109.5.227
  194.109.5.227 : [0], 84 bytes, 0.-182238712 ms (0.-182238712 avg, 0% loss)
  194.109.5.227 : duplicate for [16777217], 84 bytes, 969531 ms
  194.109.5.227 : [16777217], 84 bytes, 969531 ms (0.-42642786 avg, 0% loss)
  194.109.5.227 : duplicate for [33554434], 84 bytes, 0.-79624590 ms

According to the other report I've got, any target IP address will do.

Please include information on the hardware and kernel version. I suppose
this might be specific to some processor types.

TIA,
