[hobbit] Hosts going purple

[Morris, Chris (SS-IS)]

Check the size of the client message file compared to the MAXMSG_CLIENT,
MAXMSG_STATUS and MAXMSG_STACHG settings in the hobbitserver.cfg file, if
you have lots of ports open on that host it can create a large amount of
output which is too big for Hobbit to process.
