[smokeping-users] Odd Problems with DNS, WWW, SMTP probes After Upgrade

[Lozano_Art]

Hello,
   I had been running Smokeping successfully for a few months on FreeBSD
4.9 using a 266Mhz Pentium II and 64Mb RAM.   I then got a 2.4 Ghz Xeon
with 1 Gig of RAM on which I installed FreeBSD 4.10 and smokeping as a
package.  I copied all of the configuration and data files from the
pilot system.  Everything that uses simple pings works fine, however I
am getting lots of packet loss reported on the DNS, SMTP, and HTTP
probes.  I can run DIG and echoping manually from the command line and I
get no loss.  In the log I get the following messages:

Jun 18 14:55:38 smokeping smokeping[163]: EchoPingSmtp: 10.3.254.120:

caught exception 

I also get the following message when trying to restart smokeping
<<which I did not get before>>

smokeping# 
smokeping# /usr/local/bin/smokeping --restart
### fping seems to report in 1 miliseconds
### parsing dig output...OK
ERROR: Can not stop running instance of SmokePing (163)
smokeping#

Any ideas?

Thanks,
