This is caused when a loop for spong-network takes longer then 3 x $SPONGSLEEP 
of spong-server. Spong-server flipped the red status to a real purple and then 
the next spong-network cycle flips it back to 'red'.

I either need to rework the spong-server status logic or rework spong-network 
to be able to run checking loops in parallel or both. I guess the 
spong-network changes will useful to more people. So it will be first and then 
the changed to the status logic.

Chime with your opinions. The spong-network parallel check will be the change, 
if I don't hear differently.
