[hobbit] oversized [ports] section && 'stopped reporting'

[Jerry Yu]

thanks, I doubled MAXMSG_CLIENT MAXMSG_STATUS as well as MAXMSG_DATA from
their default values. That seem to have eliminated the truncation line for
PORTS data and oversize status/stachg messages for Hobbitd.
after "/etc/init.d/hobbit stop" and 'kill -TERM' the remaining vmstat
processes, I had to 'ipcrm' one last shm segment.
