yeah, that is the error case that I just fixed. It would never
send more than one ping to a host and it needed to miss at least
4 or 5 to be declared "down".

yeah, what happens is if the check is in the queue to be "tested"
for more than so long it prints out that error. As it was never sending
a second ping, and was stuck in the queue it needed to be "killed". The
program does some self-protection to prevent a single check from hogging
the queue time if there is some major bug (like the one i fixed) that
prevents it from testing things properly and having all
the hosts fill up the queue to be tested.

grab sysmon-0.91.7 and it should fix your problem.
advise me if otherwise.
