Subject: ICMP Source_quench
In Ping.pm version 2.31, an ICMP Source Quench response from the ping'd host is treated as if the host is dead. Since we are getting a response from the host, shouldn't it act as if the host were alive? I'm including my cumulative patch which fixes bug reports 4170, 5269, 5861, and 6706. It also adds exponential back-off to ICMP, and fixes a small bug in the UDP exponential back-off code.

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

The source quench problem has been handled differently in version 2.32. See http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2005/06/msg101195.html for details.
