Sorry about that. I use gmail, and try to remember to erase the
addresses manually, but every once in a while it escapes me. If anyone
knows of a labs feature that can do that, just let me know!

I see... here's what I don't understand: I have been using cygwin for
years without this problem. ping has always "just worked" for me, so I
wonder if something has changed recently in the way this is done. Is
it possible that before I was somehow  invoking DOS's ping from within
cygwin? If so, would just uninstalling cygwin's ping solve the
problem?

Thanks a lot,
Gustavo.
