"godzilla" - a Solaris host - sent a too-large "client" message of
815825 bytes. There's a limit set in Hobbit for the size of client
message at 512 KB, so the message was truncated.

This is interesting. If the truncated message caused hobbitd_client to
crash, I would have expected a different exit-code. I'll have to check 
how it handles truncated messages.

Dont know, but apparently some input from your host caused it.

Probably not. Which version are you running?

It's restarted automatically by hobbitlaunch.
