Public bug reported:
The ping utility prints this curious error/warning message:
```
ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
```
Otherwise seems to be working just fine:
```
> ping 127.0.0.1
ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
