I rebooted my hobbit server and it lost its default gateway, unbeknown to me. The only symptoms of something wrong was a purple in a network test is was supposed to be doing and a purple in the server's bbtest column. Now, I reckon one or other or both of these should have both gone red and not purple, and the reason that they did not is due to hobbitping going into a spin: what looks like a fairly tight loop. Hobbitping was using quite a lot of CPU (I saw it at well over 30%) and server/tmp/ping-stdout.1407 was empty but server/tmp/ping-stderr.5499 was getting many (about 60) "Failed to send ICMP packet: Network is unreachable" written to it every second.
Thanks, the attached patch should solve this problem.
