Problems with hobbitping when the Network is unreachable (BUG)

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

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.
