This means that the hobbitd_client program has crashed. There ought to be
a core-dump in the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory; if you could run it
through the procedure described in 
   http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html#bugreport
it would make it simpler to find.

Please send me a copy of the client message. You'll find it in
~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt on the HP-UX server. I've had one other report
of HP-UX clients causing the hobbitd_client module to crash, so there is
probably something special about the client messages from HP-UX based
systems that trigger this.

Shouldn't be a problem. I have about 1500 clients reporting into one Hobbit
server (HP-UX, Solaris, Windows, AIX).
