Still very odd. The "used" number is insanely high, and bufp is 0. The
first could be a result of the latter, but I cannot understand how that
could happen (bufp starts out being the same as buf, and it only grows).


What happens if you shutdown Hobbit, rename the
~hobbit/data/tmp/hobbitd.chk file to something else, and startup
Hobbit again ?

If that makes it work, I'd very much like to have a copy of that file.
It will include a lot of internal information about your tests, so make
sure you have permission to make it available to me. And send it to me
directly - henrik at hswn.dk - instead of to the list.


Regards,
Henrik
