On two occasions within a week hobbit alerted that several servers lost
connectivity and then apparently recovered. Here is a sample of the
error in the bb-network.log:

2006-06-11 04:16:07 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with
error-code 98

2006-06-11 04:16:07 Cannot open fping output file
/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.2246
The error code basically means what it says: Hobbit couldn't create
the output file it needs for fping output. In the newer versions
it also prints out the system error-message which would have been
helpful here, but you should look for a cause that prevents files
from being created in this directory.

Most likely cause is that the /hobbit/server/tmp/ filesystem is full.
