My idea was to make sure that we don't get a response from another ping (like, if a read from pipeout was interrupted in another process, or something around those lines, or if there is another croutonclip running)...

But yeah, this is overkill, and actually not protecting us against anything, if we have another croutonclip process this will eventually succeed anyway, and we would be then in big trouble...

I'll just send `PING$timeout`, good enough.
