check_ping has strange error

[Christoph Kluenter]

Hi,

I got this alarm from Nagios:

Service: PING
Host: XXXX
Address: XXXX
State: CRITICAL
Date/Time: Mon Feb 11 09:03:16 CET 2013
Additional Info:
PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = -400%, RTA = 54290.29 ms

Has anybody seen something like that before ?
The ping can't have taken 54 Seconds, because nagios would have
killed the check before. And -400% Packetloss is better than usual :)
Any ideas ?

Cheers,
  Christoph
