msgs column gone haywire

[Great Dilla]

hi everyone,

i recently installed hobbit on solaris clients. for the first few
weeks the clients were doing okay. no hiccups were encountered on the
compilation, installation and configuration.

this week while i was browsing on the webpages generated, i was
surprised to see the results (see
http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/9020/msgshd5.jpg). two of the clients
were reporting alternating green and clear "msgs" columns when solaris
clients were not supposed to be reporting any of it.

i am using version 4.1.2p1 of hobbit. anyone got the same weird
experience? can someone point me to the right area to look for?

the hobbitclient.cfg file and the clientlaunch.cfg is the default one
installed when compiling hobbit. i cross checked the files with the
other clients and they are uniform throught the 300+ hosts and
restarted the client daemons. only the two hosts on the screenshot are
experiencing erratic this behaviour.

i have tried copying the hobbit client installation from other clients
-- result: same behavior. i have also tried the command [bb localhost
"drop yakal"] -- result: same behavior.

any other suggestions as to what to do? your inputs are highly
appreciated. thanks in advance.
