Bug #4607 for POE-Component-Client-Ping: Missing pongs on Win 2K

Version information after problem description. I installed V1.00 of the client ping module, and the test script reported success. However, my own script still failed to work as expected, with pongs missing. I defined DEBUG in ping.pm, and in 01_ping.t, then ran the test again. At the very end of the output are a couple of lines: "this shouldn't technically be displayed at D:/Perl/site/lib/POE/Component/Client/Ping.pm line 421." I get the same output when I run my own script, and these lines correspond to the missing pongs. My script is intended to be a simple "network connectivity" test tool, for my work. It uses the OneReply option, and counts pings sent, replies received, and time-outs, to a number of IP addresses. To simulate connectivity problems, I have deliberately included a couple of ficticious addresses in my script, to make sure I get time-outs. The missing pongs are most often for these non-existing addresses. I have attached a zip file with a log of the output from 01_ping.t (with DEBUGs defined as above.) In the same zip file is my own script and a log of the output (with DEBUGs defined as above, and in my own script.)
