Fired up BB. Then, everyone's pager went NUTS. 100 pages, times 4 pagers. WHOOOOPS. The entire world had uh..... "lost connectivity."
What had really happened of course is, that the hobbit userid couldn't run fping, since I had forgotten to suid the executable. And yes, I did eventually find it in a log file, but... But, this had the very nasty side effect of turning each and every connectivity icon RED. And then the alerts kicked in..... And four Duracell batteries died.
Well, at least Hobbit managed to get your attention that there was some configuration problem :-)
Seriously - you're right, it shouldn't do that. Such a problem should end up with a red status in the "bbtest" column and nothing else. I'll make sure it does that.
Sorry about the trouble!
