Public bug reported: Since I've updated my laptop to Ubuntu MATE 17.04, I notice ping sometimes gets into a runaway mode.
I'm on a shaky Wi-Fi so to monitor connectivity I usually have a long running ping command against google's DNS server: > ping -s16 8.8.4.4 Often, after leaving it for a while, I notice screaming vents and htop then shows the ping process consuming 100% of one CPU. It will stay like that until ping is killed. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue, can someone recommend a protocol?
