Traditionally, those files are called just "core". But it is not
uncommon - especially on some Linux distributions - to redefine this
so that core-files have a filename the connects them to the program
they were generated by.

Yes. You do want to run the hobbitd_rrd module, but there really is no
monitoring of this module - except when it has crashed. It doesn't send
in any "I am OK" message when it runs normally. So once you've noticed
that it has crashed, you can remove the purple hobbitd_rrd status.

The reason why it crashed is some programming error. What you can do to
help me fix it is to pinpoint exactly where it did crash; the link 
above will help you get the information I need for the debugging.
