Well, I've found *one* bug that might explain this - but I do not yet
know if it's the one that bites Vernon.

It's triggered by an invalid status message that doesn't include any
column-name. 

Stefan - you might want to try out the current snapshot available
at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/hobbit-snapshot.tar.gz

You build it the normal way (configure; make) - but instead of
running "make install" just copy the hobbitd/hobbitd binary to
your ~hobbit/server/bin/

After restarting Hobbit you should see some "Bogus status message"
entries in the hobbitd.log file if this problem occurs, but it 
should no longer crash.


Regards,
Henrik
