Typically, errors like ICMP host unreachable appear to get propagated back
as failures to the respective socket client, i.e. when attempting a TCP
connection. However, in the case of a direct ICMP user like the ping
command, this doesn't appear to occur properly, as it has code to
detect/handle ICMP error replies and print them, but this doesn't seem to
actually get triggered when running a ping to such an unreachable host on
Haiku, while it does when pinging from FreeBSD to the same target host and
the same ping code.
