by the way use the source from the CVS, not from the download area, because that's outdated

Hi, I apologies for the late submission of this issue, but I have a lot of work (not just with this project).
So I told you there are 3 bugs that must be corrected before releasing the alpha4. I have fixed partially one of the bugs, it is related when you want to probe your localhost address, or your public IP address, and I'm still working on that.
The second one is what I want to take a look, or try to fix it.
To discover the problem try to probe a host with packet types that you know for sure that the target address would not reply, this means that after 10 retransmissions (the default) the program stops. But if at the same time you open another terminal and try to run ping, or some other program that sends packets to another address, APing captures these packets, but drops it because are not from he, the problem in this scenario is that APing would never stop until you halt the other ping program, because receives the packets replies from that program , drops them and enters in the while loop, then if receives a packet from the other program drops it and enter in the loop for another time . . . . and so on. We must to fix that, but remember this problem occurres only when APing receives absolutely no answer from the target host
You can ask me if you don't understand something related to this issue
