Does it work 3 times? The test first checks google.com, then xelerance.com,
then google.com again. The last two fail. This might be related to EDNS and/or
UDP fragments gone missing.

Running it with ltrace only gave the following output (apart from the print
output):

   0.000000 __libc_start_main(0x400710, 2, 0x7fff4d48a908, 0x400730, 0x400720 <un

I could probably clone a VM in that network and give you access to it?
