This should be fixed already in the 4.2.2 RC1 - it wraps the hostname
in "^...$" regex anchors so it should get data only from the exact
hostname. In other words, it now queries using

bb 127.0.0.1 'hobbitdboard host=^manager$ test=conn fields=hostname,testname,color'

which should return only a single host.

It would be nice if you could verify that 4.2.2-RC1 fixes this. If
you're reluctant to update all of your system to the RC, you can try
just compiling it and then copy the web/hobbitsvc.cgi binary to your
current ~hobbit/server/bin/ directory.
