Problems with hobbitping when the Network isunreachable (BUG)

Tested and it does solve the problem. (Network test goes red with:
Service conn on XXXGW1 is not OK : Host responds to ping on 2 of 7 IP's

...

Traceroute results:
socket: Network is unreachable
)

Thanks for the quick patch.

I rebooted my hobbit server and it lost its default gateway, unbeknown to

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.
