Short description says:

   -t n       individual target initial timeout (in millisec) (default
20)

That is the timeout for the first packet. Not for all following. E.g.

fping -c 3 -t 50 ns1.remote.net.
ns1.remote.net. : [0], 84 bytes, 151 ms (151 avg, 0% loss)
ns1.remote.net. : [1], 84 bytes, 149 ms (150 avg, 0% loss)

ns1.remote.net. : xmt/rcv/%loss = 3/2/33%, min/avg/max = 149/150/151


I.e. the first packet is mising. This will be clear when you do:

fping -c 3  ns1.remote.net.
ns1.remote.net. : [0], 84 bytes, 149 ms (149 avg, 0% loss)
ns1.remote.net. : [1], 84 bytes, 152 ms (150 avg, 0% loss)
ns1.remote.net. : [2], 84 bytes, 148 ms (150 avg, 0% loss)

ns1.remote.net. : xmt/rcv/%loss = 3/3/0%, min/avg/max = 148/150/152

It should not always but only for all but the first.

It's not a bug, it's a feature ....
