1. This bug still occurs sporadically on amd64 systems

$ uname -a
Linux barkeeper 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp #1 SMP Thu Dec 7 18:44:52 UTC 2006 x86_64
GNU/Linux
$ grep segfault /var/log/kern.log
Mar  6 23:15:52 barkeeper kernel: check_ping[19518]: segfault at
0000000000000001 rip 0000002a95906c40 rsp 0000007fbfffd998 error 4

2. It seems to be fixed in nagios-plugins-basic_1.4.5-1_amd64.deb

After 48 hours of endless looping check_ping no segfaults could be monitored.
After 5 days monitoring 15 servers in nagios no segfaults could be monitored.

Because of the sporadic nature of this bug, we dont know if it is really fixed
yet, but it looks good.

3. Why is libssl/crypto linked into the new check_ping ? Is that a build mistake
?

sarge: $ ldd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping
  libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x0000002a9566c000)
  libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x0000002a95783000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a95897000)
  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x0000002a95556000)

testing: $ ldd check_ping

Thanks.
