I've just added an FPing probe to my running smokeping system using the
following configs:

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Probes ***
+ FPing
binary = /usr/bin/fping
[snip]
++FPing_12
offset = 12%
packetsize = 1024
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Targets.Local.something
[snip]
+++ Portakabin_2
menu = PK_2
title = pk_2.local.jubileegroup.co.uk
probe = FPing_12
host = portakabin2.local.jubileegroup.co.uk
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------

It works fine for me.  I also tried packetsizes of 250, 1250 and 10240.
They were fine too.

You'd better post your full configuration, it seems that something is
wrong in there.
