Per the docs:

ICMP Configuration
------------------
NOTE: ICMP is currently untested, in minimal code form and is NOT ready
for use in production networks.  It is not turned on by default.

Configuration for ICMP session tracking.  Since there is no target 
based
binding, there should be only one occurrence of the ICMP configuration.
- Preprocessor name: stream5_icmp
- Options:
     timeout <number (secs)> - Session timeout.  The default is "30", 
the
                               minimum is "1", and the maximum is 
"86400"
                               (approximately 1 day).



Add a corresponding stream5_icmp entry and see what happens.
