Subject: ICMP Ping being lost between kernel and the ping program.
Greetings. This is my first post.
I'm having a weird intermittent problem with ping.
I'm pinging the WAN port of a cheap home DSL firewall (d-link di-604) and
sometimes the ping program fails to get a response,
but if I run tcpdump I can see that the response is indeed coming back.

Solved.
The Dlink firewalls were responding with stale ICMP Identifier when pinged a
second time, and the ping program was ignoring the responses which had a
stale Identifier.
The windows box always works because it always uses the same number for
Identifier. Ugh.
Thanks!
