It was neither the IPC resources. The output of IPCS looks similar
before and after a restart/recovery. So, if it wasn't
disk/memory/cpu/ipcs, then what? I can't build an enterprise class
monitoring system that just shuts down without any known cause.

What kind of filesystem access does Hobbit need? I have a bad habit of
restricting access... Oh yes, I had chosen "paranoid" filesys security
just because it was possible.

Well, this can happen when the hobbit server runs out of disk space ...
