expire is in milliseconds here:

                if (nreceived) {
                        expire = 2 * tmax / 1000;
                        if (expire == 0)
                                expire = 1;
                }
                signal(SIGALRM, pingstats);
but alarm() takes seconds:
                alarm(expire);

+       unsigned sum;

Bad name. Sum of what? It is also ambiguous for grepping.

Apart from these issues, it looks ok.
Applied to svn. Thanks.
