popen timeout received, but no child process

[Mike Holloway]

You might try compiling check_ping --without-ipv6, that solved a  
different problem for me that I was experiencing with check_ping.   
Also have a read of this thread:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14887381

"it had to do with the ipv6 host check, where it
would check whether or not the host is an IPv6 address, by calling a
getaddrinfo(), and that would take long enough that SIGALRM would be
tripped, and child_process was NULL at that point."
