Ping Exit Error

["Terence" <terencel sunway edu my>]

Hi All,

I have upgraded to 7.3 and had a couple of scripts which used ping to test
if hosts were alive.

I used "ping -c 1 <ip>" , which worked well. On several 7.3 boxes however,
that same command seems to hang there and doesnt exit. Anyway, I am using
the -w option, so I can beat around this one. Just wondering if the above is
a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks
Terence
