I haven't found any problem with the code. However since its causing
problems for you and the performance improvement that it provides is
minimal, I've disabled the use of gethostbynameCached().

There is no support for ICMPv6 yet. That file is just a simple copy of
ICMPv4Header.cc. It is in the repo but it doesn't even get compiled with
the build. ICMPv6 support will be added at some point but not right now,
sorry.

By the way, thanks for testing and reporting bugs for nping. If you have
additional comments or suggestions, please let me know.

Luis.
