We have a busy nagios server and its not unusual for there to be 200 fping's
running simultaneously. Since fping derives the ident it puts in the outbound
packet to from the low 16 bits of the process id, we see collisions.

Here's a github pull request that fixes this issue:

If I create a patch for the fping port to make this change would you prefer a
patch an an optional patch?
