>Description:
There is a bug in nsping source which presumes that pid numbers cannot be bigger than 65536. On systems where nsping is started with pid bigger than that, nsping cannot work, since it sets ID of DNS query packet to pid value of nsping process.
Patch which corrects this problem is included. (already contains patch-ab from nsping port)
