Not much to go by in those traces, really.

I noticed in the first report you sent, that it seems as if hobbitd
crashes about 5 minutes after it is started. This would coincide with
the time when it sends in a status report about itself. Can you verify
if this is correct - what is the interval between the "Task hobbitd
started" messages ?

If it's 15 minutes, then it points more in the direction of the
checkpoint code, and the errors you showed initially "Too few fields
in record - found 1, expected 17" also point in that direction.

You could also try enabling the memory-debug code: In lib/memory.h,
change the line

   #undef MEMORY_DEBUG
to
   #define MEMORY_DEBUG 1

Then do a "make allclean; make; make install" and restart hobbit.
It will still crash, but hopefully a little earlier before it 
smashes the stack - so gdb will hopefully give some more info in the
backtrace.
