Description Christian Weisgerber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-30 19:47:22 UTC 
"ping6 -c1 <unresponsive host>" now never terminates.  It just sits there forever waiting for a reply.  This behavior is new with r269800 in 10-STABLE.  Previously,
ping6 would exit if there was no reply within about a second.

Fixed in r272871 and merged into 10.2-RELEASE.

Revert changes in r269180.  It could cause -c N option to enter an
infinite loop if no reply packet is received.
