Forgot to comment on this in my first mail:

The consequence of your Dad's comment would be, that when it *IS* 
broken, then you should fix it.

4.2.0 has some rather unpleasant bugs, including some that would lose 
messages sent between xymond (or rather, hobbitd) and the various worker 
modules. I don't think this is why you see the purple statuses since 
that usually does not involve any communications outside xymond, but 
4.2.0 is 5 years old (almost to the date - it was released on Aug. 10, 
2006) and I really think You should consider upgrading it to a newer 
version.
