hobbitd_alert crash

[Christopher T. Beers]

hobbitd_alert crashed earlier this afternoon.  Hobbit started to send out 
alerts like this

red - Program crashed

Fatal signal caught!

Since I had not applied the post RC4 patch to my RC4 instance, I figured I 
must have run into the hobbitd_alert bug.  So I stopped hobbit, applied the 
patch to the source, make clean, make, make install.  Restarted hobbit.

Now it appears to be working because the alert module is sending out actual 
alerts (mrtg alerts and vmio to high alerts).  However, I am still getting 
those hobbitd_alert crashed messages, but its running with a ps -ef....

How can I get rid of the 100 or so per hour of hobbitd_alert crashed emails 
that are being sent out.
