Incorrect results returned by check_ping

[Erik Carlseen]

I'm getting *occasional* bizzare results returned by check_ping for 
devices that are on the same 10/100 switch as the box running Nagios. 
Typically the results are off by 1-3 orders of magnitude (reporting 25-285 
ms where the actual delay is 200-400ns).  This problem comes and goes, but 
it's particularly annoying as it generates about 20-30 false alarms per 
day. I've run a separate ping command through ssh to verify that the 
results are, in fact, erroneous.

Has anyone else experienced this?
