:Maybe a PING_OPTS environment variable would be more acceptable. You could
:set yours to "-c 4" system wide, and this might be more palatable to

We've had the 'ping' argument before. I personally don't think we should
touch it. There are thousand ways one can hang oneself and adding
environment variables or config options or default limitations for no
other reason then to avoid someone accidently leaving the program running
is a waste of time and an unnecessary pollution of the code.
Just create a global alias in /etc/csh.cshrc (etc) if you want to impose
a default pint count limit.
