smal bug in icmpinfo

There is a smal bug in icmpinfo (by Laurent Demailly; available from
sunsite):

whenever it writes an entry to a log, it first tries to resolve the name..
but if the name-resolve returns an eg. icmp_xxx_unreachable.. than it will
perform an name-resolve for that again .. and again .. and again..

this will become a nice logfile-size...

bye. adrian.
