[hobbit] purple clients problem

[Longina Przybyszewska]

hi again,
I did the test, and I could see that the purple machines were not polled 
by the server!
So, I made another test, where in  bb-hosts file were _only _ servers 
and purple worksations . All  purple workstations turned green now.
The one failed to show (cpu|disk|memory|procs) -  and only showed green on 
network tests (conn|info|trends).
Hobbitlaunch run on that workstation, and pickuped data to ../tmp/msg.txt
regularly.

Now, I am back to my big bb-hosts file with about 80 computers - and 
about 25 workstations stopped  to show (cpu|disk|memory|procs).
They are not polled by a server. They pickup data to ../tmp/msg.txt
regularly and say that they contact the server  and everything is OK.

hobbitd_client runs with --debug option, and the clientdata.log says:

Server is a sparc/Solaris9.
Could it be resource/timing problem on the server?
