[Elizabeth Schwartz]

I am on 4.3.7 now; saw the behavior on earlier 4.3.x versions.

You can see on Saturday it went yellow at 1:56 , emailing
"xymon at example.com" which is our email alert, and then an hour later
it went red and started emailing the world. Then at 7:00 am the same
thing.

I note that all of these servers are on EDT, and this test went red
exactly an hour after going yellow because it's a custom test that
goes yellow after so many seconds and red an hour later.
