Hobbitd_client on server is crashing

Hi All,

I am running Hobbit 4.2.0 on a number of Sun servers and recently the
hobbitd_client daemon has been crashing and leaving core files around.

I ran gdb according to
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html#bugreport and it came
back with:
hobbit at hbt0:/opt/hobbit/server>gdb bin/hobbitd_client tmp/core
GNU gdb 6.6
...
Core was generated by `hobbitd_client'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0  0xfee25687 in _lwp_kill () from /lib/libc.so.1
(gdb) bt
#0  0xfee25687 in _lwp_kill () from /lib/libc.so.1
#1  0xfee22dee in thr_kill () from /lib/libc.so.1
#2  0xfedd11bb in raise () from /lib/libc.so.1
#3  0xfedb15d9 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.1
#4  0x08067172 in sigsegv_handler (signum=11) at sig.c:57
#5  0xfee24a4f in __sighndlr () from /lib/libc.so.1
#6  0xfee1ae72 in call_user_handler () from /lib/libc.so.1
#7  <signal handler called>
#8  0x08063ef9 in get_ostype (osname=0x806c28d "") at misc.c:43
#9  0x0805b320 in main (argc=1, argv=0x80464ac) at hobbitd_client.c:1766

The really bizarre thing is that it only crashes when one particular
machine connects to it and sends data. Other Hobbit clients connect in
and transfer thir core data over with no issues, it's only this one Sun
Ultra 60 that causes a problem.

Any ideas where I might start looking?
