[hobbit] Strange pinging issue

[Josh Luthman]

I get a very similar situation, of which I was just about to report!  Mine
will be green for hours or days, then show up red for much less time (5-45
seconds).  I've mine set as default..

FPING="/usr/sbin/fping"

I have testip on almost every single host.
