Yes there is - fix the bug that makes hobbitd_client crash, and you
won't see any hobbitd_client statuses. Ever.

For starters, check that you are running the latest version (4.1.2p1 -
the older versions do have bugs in the hobbitd_client code). And 
check the "Reporting Bugs" part of
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html
