Public bug reported:
I tried pinging an IP address on an internal network. My IP is
10.0.0.95, and I'm trying to ping 10.0.0.96. Here's what it looked like:
$ ping 10.0.0.96
PING 10.0.0.96 (10.0.0.96) 56(84) bytes of data.

$ ping 10.0.0.96
PING 10.0.0.96 (10.0.0.96) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.96: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.324ms

64 bytes from 10.0.0.96: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.357ms
etc...
So on the initial run, ping claims it got a ping reply from 10.0.0.95, which
isn't the address I'm pinging. It's my host, and it's normal to get the initial
ICMP "Destination Host Unreachable" messages from the local IP when ARP fails.
I almost immediately reran ping, and now the host was up from the start, and
see responses coming from the actual host that I'm pinging.
Looking at the times, the ping replies appear to actually come from
10.0.0.96, or at least some other remote host, based on the time values.
If I ping 10.0.0.95 (my own IP), I'm seeing time values of 0.040ms or
thereabouts, so an order of magnitude faster.
