bbtest crash & core dumping

[Allan.Marillier at dana.com]

I have a problem on a Fedora Core 5 server that comes up at random 
intervals with Henrik's rpm version of hobbit 4.2.0-1 where my bbtest-net 
causes core dumps every 5 minutes and all tests turn purple. If I leave it 
alone, after some time between half an hour to 2 hours it goes back to 
normal. Is there a known problem that I can correct? This happens at 
irregular intervals from 6 to 20 days, and rebooting has not helped. The 
only clue I have found so far is to check bb-services, but I have not 
modified that, it is exactly as it installed: # $Id: bb-services,v 1.14

Any suggestions please? (I do have some core dumps saved but I'm not too 
familiar with gdb debugging)

The message I get on my hobbit display is:
- Program crashed

Fatal signal caught!
