Only the dm test on the devmon polling host? Or, all the devmon-related tests?

Please provide some output from the logs. E.g. complete log from starting 
devmon to end of first poll.

There are some improvements in devmon svn, which I mentioned on the devmon 
list months ago, but which no-one has provided any real feedback on ...

Since I hardly see this myself (it has occurred twice in one year here), I 
haven't been able to reproduce to test much myself, but simulated problems 
were handled better.

If you eliminate Hobbit/Xymon as the problem, please discuss this on the 
devmon listed instead.
