[hobbit] bbtest Child process terminated with signal 15

[Phil Meech]

Hi Martin,

Although I'm not sure how to trace this back to a particular host via logs;
in my experience the #trace option in bb-hosts has a high chance of causing
it.  I ended up limiting the amount of hops it could make, and the errors
then went.  If this is the cause of your problem, you could at least narrow
down the hosts by whether or not they are responsive to pings and whether
they are set to trace on failure.
The default TTL (number of hops) for traceroute is 30 (on my distribution),
I limited it to 10 in hobbitserver.cfg: TRACEROUTE="traceroute -m10"

Regards,
Phil
