If you're running bbproxy, you should not be running the hobbitd task.
The [hobbitd] task runs ONLY on the real Hobbit server - not on proxy
servers, network testers, clients or any other box.

WHAT ? You're telling bbproxy to feed messages to itself ??
Oh dear ... don't do that. Remove that 127.0.0.1 from the --bbdisplay
option.

bbtest-net needs a bb-hosts file, yes - that's where it gets the network
tests it should run.

Do get rid of that 127.0.0.1 address.
