Package: liboping0
Version: 0.3.5-1
Severity: normal

When I configure collectd to use the ping plugin in order to ping more than
3 hosts, it fails to run. When running collectd by entering

/usr/sbin/collectd -f -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf

into a root shell, collectd aborts with the following error message:

collectd: liboping.c:168: ping_timeval_sub: Assertion `(res->tv_sec > 0) || 
((res->tv_sec == 0) && (res->tv_usec > 0))' failed.
Aborted

I'm using collectd 4.4.2-3 from the stable repository. Replacing collectd by
a newer version compiled from source (e.g., 4.6.3 or 4.7.1) doesn't resolve
this problem. Replacing liboping0 by the current version compiled from
source (1.1.2) makes collectd work as intended. Hence I think, this
problem belongs to liboping0.

In liboping0's changelog at http://verplant.org/liboping/, a wrong assertion
is mentioned that has been fixed in 1.0.0, perhaps this is the assertion
that fails in my case.
