[hobbit] Memory report faulty

[Vernon Everett]

Don't think a reboot is going to fix this one for me.
We tried it, and it comes good for a few hours, then goes bad again.
Then it might come good again for some time, and then bad.
Very unpredictable in its behavior, which made me think there is a bug
somewhere, and was hoping there was a workaround published.

And rebooting a production server is not really a great idea. :-)

Cheers
