Does not handle umount/swapoff very well.

Bug Description

Binary package hint: hardware-monitor

When swap is deactivated, or a monitored partition is unmounted and the mountpoint removed, hardware-monitor begins using 100% cpu and does not stop until killed.

Using version 1.4-0ubuntu2.

To reproduce:
1. Add a swap space monitor
2. Make sure some swap space is in use
3. swapoff -a

Or:
1. Add a hard drive usage monitor
2. Unmount the partition being watched
3. Remove the mount point

Actually, hardware-monitor begins sucking up memory as well, making the system unresponsive if, for example, a removable disk is added to the list of disks to monitor and then removed.
