Console command ping makes the web interface becomes unresponsive

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to "Administration - Console"
2. Enter "ping 1.2.3.4" (or any other IP address)
3. Hit "Refresh"

What is the expected output?
After the first ping response arrives, see something lik "64 bytes from 
1.2.3.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=12.582 ms"
and a responding web interface.

What do you see instead?
1. Nothing.
2. The web interface becomes unresponsive.
3. SSH login is still possible.
4. Only after killing the ping process, the web interface becomes responsive 
again.

What version of the product are you using?
RT-N56U_3.0.3.7-079_base.trx

Please describe the problem as detailed as it's possible.
If you have connection problem, then syslog file is required. (please do
attach it as a file)
Note that if there will be a poor problem description the issue status will
be changed to 'Invalid'!

Do not enter commands which have loop output!! (ping, top, etc)
Limit its output to some (not large) value.
ping -c 3 1.2.3.4
