I've been hit by a "forgotten ping" again.
I still do not see a reason for not having a default number of pings, instead of
infinite.
The only reason I've seen is "It's always been so".
Even if a default of 4 pings is not acceptable, because windows does it that way, why
not a large default then?
If somebody _really_ want to ping forever, let them use -t0, and defend the rest of us
from our blunders of forgetting a ping, keeping the line open infinitely.
How about a MAX_PING=3600 in make.conf or so?
I've supplied patches earlier, but they've been rejected.
