When action_userevent was rewritten to not use local variables there was an omission. The buffer is not initialized each time so things keep getting appended to the buffer. In addition I would find it useful to have the ping action return the timestamp. That way I do not have to have timestamp event enabled and when I want to check the time sync with the asterisk server I can just to a ping and get a timestamp back.
