Maybe a problem with the ping version used by the distribution.
You can try "./fcnal-test.sh -t ipv4_ping -p -v" to view the commands
run and make the script stop when there's a test failure (so that you
can see the ping output and try your own commands in the testing
environment).

The reason the VRF tests run twice is to test both raw and ping sockets
(using the "net.ipv4.ping_group_range" sysctl). It doesn't seem anyone
ever intended to run the VRF tests with raw_l3mdev_accept=0.
Only the non-VRF tests were intended to be tested with
raw_l3mdev_accept=0 (see commit c032dd8cc7e2 ("selftests: Add ipv4 ping
tests to fcnal-test")). But I have no idea why.
