hobbitclient.log error Failed to get a message, terminating

[Shawn Saunders <shawn.saunders (at) jpl.nasa.gov>]

Every 5 minutes I see the same error in my hobbitclient.log file: Failed 
to get a message, terminating

hobbit-client appears to be running fine, and reporting to the hobbit 
server.

I run the following and receive:

#su - hobbit -c '$HOME/bin/bb xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ping'

hobbit-4.2.0

Any ideas on what is causing this?

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
