There appears to be a bug in the ICMP handling code in the kernel in that
it replies to echo requests with echo requests instead of replies.  This
behavior has been replicated under two different 2.2.1-RELEASE machines.
Here are the relevant readouts from icmplog:
Apr 11 01:40:22 carthage icmplog: Echo Request from 207.171.204.72
Apr 11 01:40:26 carthage last message repeated 4 times
This was the result of a 'ping -c 5 207.171.204.72' command.
