thanks again for pointing this out ;)

I hope that newer versions of liboping fix this issue. The appropriate
commit can be found here:
<http://git.verplant.org/?p=liboping.git;a=commit;h=35bc474dbcb278905e5181d88f9ea78001b3380a>

In collectd I've just removed the `sockaddr' variable altogether, since
it was never read from it. For the next version I plan to either remove
src/liboping entirely or upgrade it to a new version. The appropriate
commit is here:
