Are you pinging thru a VPN, perhaps freeSWAN? It seems like the VPN 
connector (either on the same machine or another) is not rebuilding a 
broken connection and is using the same broken connector or socket to 
communicate. Lower your policy timeouts, perhaps, or use different VPN 
software.

If it's not via a VPN, I'd still think it's along the same lines - a static 
connector or route that's not being rebuilt once the line comes back up.
