Hi,

   We're seeing some very interesting ping timings. Wall-clock vs.
recorded ping statistics.

   In the statistics below, the -current system is recording ping
statistics 1/2 the values of the march snap. However, the march
snap completes in 0.05 seconds, while the -current system requires
10 seconds. A system running the  980825-SNAP gives the same strange
results as the -current system.

   The network controllers should not have any effect since we are
testing against localhost. (however, the two machines below are
identical hardware configs using fxp0).

   This problem replicates when testing the actual network devices.

   Can anyone else replicate this problem?

   Comments, Critiques, or diffs to fix this are appreciated.

Thanks,
John
