[Xymon] Test showing white instead of purple

[Ralph Mitchell]

I think white typically show up for tests that are dependent on some other
test.  For example, the network tests do that.  I've recently had some ping
failures, so ssh came up white, but the client tests (cpu, memory,disk,
ports, procs) all came through OK.
