Update: after triggering the problem, the ping latency on the interface
that still responds is the same as the ping interval.  The default ping
interval is 1 second, so in my initial test I was seeing a 1 second ping
latency.  If I do "ping -i 2 192.168.2.1", then each ping takes 2
seconds to receive the response.  If I do "ping -i 5 192.168.2.1", then
each ping takes 5 seconds to receive the response.  This implies that
the network stack doesn't realize that it received the ping reply until
it goes to send another ping.

Hope that helps.
