The bug happens because the python headers include /usr/include/sys/termios.h
which defines the macro ECHO to 0x000008 

This is really butt-ugly, especially since if you grep for ICMP_ECHO in
/usr/include/*, you will find netinet/ip_icmp.h which defines it so, adding the
ICMP prefix is not bullet-proof.

I don't really know what to do: the C preprocessor is a killer.
