Check_fping returns only Warning when a host is unreachable

Hi,
 Why does the check_fping return a warning, instead of critical, when the
host is unreachable, while check_ping reports correctly? I recently changed
my configs to use fping instead of ping to improve performance. Should I
switch back to ping?

bash-2.05a$ ../libexec/check_fping -H 10.12.1.254 -w 300.0,80% -c 500.0,100%
FPING WARNING - 10.12.1.254
bash-2.05a$
bash-2.05a$ /usr/sbin/fping 10.12.1.254
10.12.1.254 is unreachable
bash-2.05a$
bash-2.05a$ ../libexec/check_ping -H 10.12.1.254 -w 300,80% -c 500,100%
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds
bash-2.05a$
-G
