Strange ping issue

[Jack Doyle]

Using the latest stable plugins... I didn't get this before I upgraded
to 1.2, but I am getting int sometimes now.
 
When a host is down and the ping service checks it, sometimes it will
come back unknown and sometimes critical.  It used to say Criticial all
the time.
 
Here is an example log entry of each:
 
[07-13-2004 03:17:43] SERVICE ALERT: abc;Ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;PING
CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
[07-13-2004 03:20:05] SERVICE ALERT: abc;Ping;UNKNOWN;HARD;1;/bin/ping
-n -U -c 5 10.1.10.15

Doesn't make sense to me.  Same server, same issue, three minutes later.
This happens a lot now.
