Also experiencing this. @onitake did you ever trace or confirm that pinger.Timeout is the issue?

I didn't; for my use case, I opted for a simpler approach with an exec of ping instead.
This has the advantage of not requiring superuser privileges. The disadvantage is that you need to depend on a minimal shell environment.
But it should be fairly easy to trace with pprof.

I tried jmunsin's fix and con confirm it has the desired results

I can confirm this problem also. Nearly impossible to make a program exit once ping has been Run.

@jmunsin Can you turn this into a PR and submit it?
This is something that should finally be fixed...

Thank you for the report. The library was erronously previously capturing the ctrl-C signal. This was fixed by #37
