Comment (by Otto42):

 I don't understand the problem. If the comments are closed, but comments
 *exist* for it before they're closed, then you would want those to
 display. Closing comments/pings just prevents new ones from being added,
 it doesn't make existing ones disappear.

 Also, your patch is checking the default ping status, not the status on
 individual posts. So it's going to not show pings for posts that are still
 actually allowing pings. The patch and problem doesn't make any sense.
