DIAGNOSTICS
        Exit status is 0 if all the hosts are reachable, 1 if some hosts 
were unreachable, 2 if any IP addresses were not found, 3 for invalid 
command line arguments, and 4 for a system call failure.

Not much comes to mind except some sort of hidiously invalid hostname 
somehow making it in the xymon pipe through to fping, which fping is 
then trying to select on. Is your xymon config pretty static or are 
there are lot of changes happening to it all the time? Any other unusual 
Solaris behavior going on, or anything weird with the (local) fping compile?
