 mrtg-ping-probe doesn't calculate the packet loss correctly.  Looking at
 the code (I'm not a Perl expert) it looks like the regular expression is
 not accounting for Darwin's ping program, which reports packet loss as a
 floating point number (e.g., 100.0% for full packet loss).  Here is an
 example, where the IP address 10.0.42.2 is unreachable on my network:

 $ mrtg-ping-probe -k 1 -p loss/loss 10.0.42.2
 mrtg-ping-probe: ERROR: Could not find ping summary for 10.0.42.2
 mrtg-ping-probe: INFO: The output of the ping command /sbin/ping -s 56 -c
 1 10.0.42.2 was:
 PING 10.0.42.2 (10.0.42.2): 56 data bytes

 --- 10.0.42.2 ping statistics ---
 1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
