hostname of the server was configured as tac0.lon.ws.colt.net when I installed
the Hobbit client however the machine was rebooted last week and for reasons I
have yet to figure out its hostname was reset to tac0.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=359031214-31032008>It
seems that this caused the program to crash (though it doesn't make sense to
me). I found that the name had been changed so I changed it back and immediately
the Hobbit server registered it is up and running again!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running Hobbit 4.2.0 on a number of Sun

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The really bizarre thing is that it only crashes
when one particular machine connects to it and sends data. Other Hobbit
clients connect in and transfer thir core data over with no issues, it's only
this one Sun Ultra 60 that causes a problem.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas where I might start looking?</FONT> </P>
