Hobbit Server Crash

[Guðmundur Örn Ingvarsson]

Just now, 1 week before scheduled update of our Hobbit server to Xymon our hobbit server died.

The only thing I know that was new at the time of the crash was an vbs script sending MSMQ counters along with it's status message, it was an old script but we just added a new counter.

Anyway, it seems hobbitd doesn work now, it's version 4.2.0 and you probably want me to upgrade immediatly but I still find this strange... It's worked for years and suddenly now it dies?

Anyway, I've found the following rummaging through the logs and core

In Hobbitlaunch.log
Task hobbitd terminated by signal 6

In Hobbitd.log
2009-12-04 13:01:08 Setup complete

GDB of the core

No new packages have been installed, no updates been done. The only thing was the vbs script and we've disabled that now.

Any ideas ?
