CVS commit: src/sbin/ping6

[Rui Paulo <rpaulo%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   rpaulo

Modified Files:
        src/sbin/ping6: ping6.c

Log Message:
Replace the way we calculate the standard deviation with the unbiased form
for non-related samples. There are several websites that explain why we
should use this form instead of the normal formula to compute the std. dev.
(Wikipedia is one of them).
Also, ping(8) (where this "new" formula came from) already does it this way
so, I'm trying to score some extra points by making both utilities behave
the same way.

Thanks to wrtstuden@ for the initial clarification.
