Research direction

Reproduce gping 1.5.1 on FreeBSD as a normal user and compare it with the root run. Start from the reported “receiving on a closed channel” error and trace the CLI path that opens the window and receives ping data. Done means normal-user execution works without the blank window or channel error.
