Most likely there is some sort of malformed entry in that history file
which the Hobbit histlog CGI cannot handle. If you could send me that
file  - should be ~hobbit/data/hist/cronos.AHD - I can look into it.

Weird. Does it happen every time you run bbgen ? I hope not.

Hard to tell ... my best suggestion is to capture a network trace of the
traffic between one of these clients and the Hobbit server. If a Linux
box, you can use 
   tcpdump -s 1500 -w capturefile tcp port 1984 and host CLIENTHOSTIP
to grab only the traffic between Hobbit and this client.

Most likely, it isn't getting any response back. What does
"telnet HOSTNAME 1494" give you ?

I think so, yes.
