You'll have worse problems than simply hobbitlaunch stalling.
A lot of the Hobbit data collection is time-based; clocks jumping back
causes all sorts of "interesting" things to happen with your RRD graphs
and the history logs. Not to mention the alert-repeat mechanism.
Sure, I can fix the hobbitlaunch stalling (already have) and some other
problems that will happen in parts of Hobbit when this occurs, but I
cannot fix the data that has been stored with a wrong timestamp.
So having your server time-sync'ed with NTP to a known good clock is more
or less a prerequisite for running Hobbit.
