Hmm.  For the machines in question, we have a client-side script that
automatically restarts certain processes that tend to die on their
own.  It's not all of the time, but when it restarts them, it seems
Hobbit sometimes gets these stale alerts.  Thankfully it seems the fix
is just to restart the Hobbit server, but this should still be fixed
