It looks like a problem with the RRDtool library; the crash happens
inside one of the RRD functions (one handling updates of an RRD file).
The data that gdb shows hobbit feeding into RRD looks allright.

It seems you have rrdtool 1.2.27. I see that 1.2.28 is the last of the
1.2.x series of rrrdtool; there's nothing in the change-log that
screams "this is the bug" at me, but I would suggest re-building
Hobbit with the latest 1.2.x rrdtool version to see if that
solves the problem.

Also, if you could run hobbitd_rrd with the "--debug" option for a
few minutes until it crashes, it would show exactly what data was
being sent to the RRD-update function.
