Yes - this is due to the client sending status messages that are too large 
for the server to accept. The default limit for status messages is 256K 
and clients is 512K; both are not large enough.

You can control this setting by adding values for

MAXMSG_CLIENT
MAXMSG_STATUS

into the hobbitserver.cfg config file. In my config I have

MAXMSG_CLIENT="2097152"
MAXMSG_STATUS="2097152"

This may be too large for you though so you should perhaps try smaller 
values first
