gt6 is removed in test_headroom, but for early-break sort of scenarios I
guess we do want to have it in cleanup() as well. With 2>/dev/null,
because most of the time it will have been cleaned up already. I'll send
a v2 like that.

Interesting. Looks like another bug, the headroom issue would panic
after the first packet (and only after the first packet--increasing ping
count doesn't make it more likely to reproduce, rerunning the whole
script does).

Thanks,
