This is an incompatibility with echoping 6, and will be fixed in the next
release.

Using a beta version of Echoping, apparently. Please include the
versions of echoping and rrdtool you're using.

We'd still like to fix it, of course. Please try 'smokeping --debug'
and see how the echoping command is run. Then send the output of that
command verbatim.

Hm, this could be a locale problem (rrdtool uses strtod(3), which
honors locales), except that lib/Smokeping.pm already resets LC_NUMERIC.
Try to run in the C locale or similar anyway, to rule that out.

Cheers,
