	I've noticed that ping also has some problems:  If you ping an
Apollo the first attempt will usually fail, but after that ping seems
to work.  

	For instance the first time I try it:

[root@io:33]ping charybdis
PING charybdis.cs.indiana.edu: 56 data bytes
Timed out (1 second) waiting for echo reply		<--- fails
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=1. time=154. ms	<--- passes
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=2. time=26. ms
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=3. time=13. ms
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=4. time=17. ms
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=5. time=13. ms

	The second time, however:

[root@io:36]!ping
ping charybdis 
PING charybdis.cs.indiana.edu: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=0. time=23. ms	<--- passes

64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=4. time=14. ms
64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=5. time=13. ms
