hobbitfetch infinite loop?

Every couple of days I note that hobbitfetch is hung:
yellow Load is HIGH
System clock is 0 seconds off


top - 07:23:48 up 67 days, 15:36,  0 users,  load average: 3.57, 5.42, 5.18
Tasks:  94 total,   4 running,  90 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 47.8% us,  6.5% sy,  0.3% ni, 43.0% id,  1.8% wa,  0.1% hi,  0.5% si

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
30444 hobbit    25   0  2020 1016  616 R 96.3  0.0   3869:03 hobbitfetch 


I then go kill -9 the hobbitfetch process, and it starts "working" again, but I get an error reported in the hobbitfetch status:
                           - Program crashed
                          Fatal signal caught!
                                    


Nothing is written to hobbitfetch.log.  But I do get correct statuses
for the few hosts that I am polling.

I have 4 hosts that I poll using hobbitfetch.  I think there will be
just two more.  But they are all internet facing, so keeping them up is
a priority...

I would appreciate any suggestions as to where to begin troubleshooting
this, as I really need this to work.
