[hobbit] purple clients problem

[Longina Przybyszewska]

UPS. I have just noticed that there are bbrun processes running
on those 2 servers from old BB installation.
I think  it explains all my the troubles -... make upgrades carefully...

By the way , is there a special bb_channel for BBclient-Hobbitserver
communication?

regards
Longina
