check_ping works fine from command line but cgi shows ping resultsas "unknown"

I am still having this problem after replacing check_ping (1.2) with (1.3).
My problem is a little different though check_ping works great when the host
is reachable, if the host is unreachable (literally not because of a down
parent) the check returns /bin/ping -n -U -c 5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the
status is UNKNOWN. Why does the plugin not just return host-down or
unreachable, etc. Should I try a different check_ping?
