It's OK to blame the patch, 'cause re-reading it now I think it is broken.
Thanks for testing - I'll have a second look at it later tonight.

Login as the hobbit user, then run

   ~/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=data cat

The "apache" test is sent in a "data" message, hence the
"--channel=data". This dumps all data messages - including vmstat,
netstat and such - but you should be able to recognize the apache one.
However, I think my patch just stopped sending it ...
