I don't think it is the arp cache.  I am copying the tmp/BBPING to
another file before it gets rm'd in bb-network.sh and every ping attempt
succeeds based on the log file.  

All bb-network.sh does is check the return code on ping and do a grep on
the output.  Also ran "ping -s host 56 1" from a shell script and
checked the return code and it was always 0.  I was going to increase
the number of packets to 2 or 3 and see if that did anything.

I am glad someone else is seeing this problem...
