This is harmless - if getent exists, it is used; if not, configure
will do a grep on /etc/passwd. I'll have it send the error to
/dev/null.

The hobbitd_larrd icon normally does not exist - it's a symptom of the
problems in RC3 that caused hobbitd_larrd to crash. Remove the
hobbitd_larrd icon with 
   ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop SERVERNAME hobbitd_larrd"

bbtest-net shouldn't crash. It could be affected by the same bug
that hobbitd_larrd had. If it continues to show this message (and the
timestamp changes), I'm interested in a copy of your bbtest-net 
binary and the core file it generates.

I have no idea why IE triggers this when Firefox doesn't.

These are after you installed the post-RC3 patch ? In that case, could
you try if adding the attached patch makes these go away ?

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/ has an archive. The monthly split does
not work, so if you click on February you get both the January and
February postings - I'll get that fixed once I have a bit more time:-)
