The only errors I get in there are a bunch of these...

It's the official 4.2.0 release with a minor patch. We named it 4.2.1
to keep the rpm packages different and it took us 4 builds (a, b, c,
and d) to get it the way we wanted it.

We monitor over 500 firewalls so we made the host name a link to the
firewall's https admin interface to keep life simple for us (Isn't
open source great!).   This has been working fine since release.  I
think it has more to do with the load on the box, but I can't be sure.
  You can see from the first post that we are monitoring a fair number
of hosts and we have some intensive custom external scripts.
