Hello,

I've been happily using smokeping for quite a while probing 100s of
targets, using quite a few different probes. Recently, I ve noticed
a lot of log entries like the following :

Oct 23 09:37:27 xxxx smokeping[11748]: Argument "0.-182353260" isn't numeric in sort at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/probes/FPing.pm line 105, <GEN2828> line 1.
Oct 23 09:37:46 xxxx smokeping[11748]: Argument "20/20/0%," isn't numeric in sort at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/probes/FPing.pm line 105, <GEN2828> line 2.
Oct 23 09:37:46 xxxx smokeping[11748]: Argument "12.9/14.1/28.6" isn't numeric in sort at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/probes/FPing.pm line 105, <GEN2828> line 2.

The result is that for the given interval, I get black lines on all my FPing targets.
I dont see a particular pattern in time for those messages (sometimes every hour, 
sometimes once per day etc...)

It seems like FPing.pm is getting unusual fping output and has problem parsing it.
I haven't performed any upgrades to fping or smokeping.

I'm running Smokeping 1.30 and fping 2.4b2_to (from Tobi's site)

Any ideas?
