ping: sendto: No buffer space available

[Balázs Mátéffy]

I almost forgot!

And if you find out the reason for shortage you can tweak it with the
appropiate sysctl value.

At the moment I'm not sure which value you should tweak, but if you search
for this issue, maybe you can find the appropiate net. values.

Regards,

MB.
