{bb} False ping alarms in V1.13a

[John Lengeling <johnl@microware.com>]

I am getting false ping yellow alerts from one of my machines.  It is an
Axis cdrom server.  I get a yellow alert saying that the ping succeeded
on the second try.  What is weird is that every other pass through
bb-network the alert alternates between green and yellow.  Here is the
connection history from the machine:

DATE                     STATUS SECONDS
Thu Feb 24 13:19:55 2000 GREEN  749
Thu Feb 24 13:08:01 2000 YELLOW 714
Thu Feb 24 12:56:22 2000 GREEN  699
Thu Feb 24 12:44:20 2000 YELLOW 722
Thu Feb 24 12:21:12 2000 GREEN  1388
...
...
   
BTW: What does the seconds indicate?  Seconds between event change?

I pinged the maching myself for long periods and never lost a packet.  I
modified bb-network.sh to save the tmp/BBPING output so I could look for
a failed attempt. I never found a failed ping attempt for this
machine.   I had the same behavior under v1.08.

Has anyone else seen this type of problem?
