[smokeping-users] Holes in graphs

[Peter Kristolaitis]

Oh, I think I got that as well.  I'm not sure if it was a design 
decision or a bug, but if you create 'sub'-probes you can't use the 
parent any more.

I just went to double-check my config file and I have +FPing, 
++FPing_default, ++FPing_1, etc., and I use ++FPing_default as my 
default under *** Targets ***.
