Each build from the snapshot is from scratch, so it will be clean from
the start.

[hobbit at hobbit2 tmp]$ file core.21600 core.21602 core.21520
core.21600: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd_client'
core.21602: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd_client'
core.21520: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'hobbitd'

Sorry, the grep for $Id: is not in the strings output.  I sent you the
backtrace in a separate e-mail.  

Just as an FYI, I am still disappointed in tooltips not working
properly.  It really isn't practical to vertically scroll the window
because descriptions or comments are making the window really wide. When
you have the column headings in view you cannot tell what host the alarm
is for because the hosts scrolled off the left side of the window.
