This used to happen to me also. I didnt really find the cause of the 
smokeping crashes. I did install a crontab entry that would
periodically check if smokeping was alive and restarted it if needed.
Something like :
pgrep -xn smokeping > /dev/null || (smokeping --restart && (echo "Subject: smokeping is not running! Restarting at `date`" | sendmail -f sender  recipient)) . Of course you can write something more
elegant if you want... I run that (through crontab) every 30 minutes.
