I've just heard back from traceping's author, Dmitry Yurchenko. He concurs with my bug report (DNS thread blocks ping reception), and likes my 2 RFEs, and hopes to get some time to hammer on the app again Real Soon Now. I have passed Randy's (justifiable) concerns on the permissions along to him, and will report what response I get. ----- Original Message -----
