This is for 1.3.80.

When I ping a machine on the local network that's down, I got a few
'socket destroy delayed' messages immediately after I hit ^C.  They
looked like this:

Socket destroy delayed (r=0 w=268)

This works exactly once for each host; a second try for the same host
does not produce those messages.

The 'w' number is 268*the number of ping attempts made (e.g. 1340 for
five pings), until at least five pings.

Hope this helps somebody in figuring out what's wrong.
