No. There's just no way that it can report two different versions
numbers from the same binary.

It really sounds as if you have two hosts running the network tests.
Or one host with two instances of Hobbit.

Check the "bbtest" status. Near the bottom of the status is a line
"Message received from [IP-address]". Are they different from the
OK (green) status to the bad (yellow) status ? If yes, then you have
two machines doing network tests.
