[hobbit] Message to long

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi Henrik

Here's an interesting bug.
Or at least I think it's a bug.
I set the MAXMSG_CLIENT to 1024, and it fixed the problem I was having.
(See below)

Later on, I had to restart the server, and it crapped out.
I remember that sometimes deleting ~hobbit/server/tmp/* before a startup
can fix things, so I gave it a try.
Still no go.
I then restarted it with --debug, and the only log file getting written
to was hobbitlaunch.log (See extract below)

I then reversed the only thing that had changed - removed the
MAXMSG_CLIENT entry, and it all started up fine.

A bug? Or a PEBKAC?

Regards
   Vernon

Hi all

Despite my best efforts, my procs page remains purple.
I found this in the hobbitd page - which also remains yellow.
(Server name changed to pluto)

I am assuming that the output from the ports and procs test is too
large.
How do we make Hobbit happy with the larger message?
This machine is a proxy server, so we can expect many procs and a long
ports output.
