Hobbit was definately shutdown when i upgraded it. Altho I didnt really 
upgrade it, I shut it down, moved the server dir and re-config,make,make 
install.

I had a look and there was a core file of some sort in the tmp folder so I 
shut the server down, moved it, started it back up and did the bb drop etc 
etc and hasnt come back after about 15 mins or so (touch wood) so wait and 
see

Thanks for that Henrik
