hobbitd crashing (both 4.0.2 and latest snapshot) on Solaris 8

["Menton, Stephen" <stephen.menton (at) cingular.com>]

After adding additional tests today I saw that some of my tests weren't
getting through. I checked their logs and saw repeted lines like:
2007-04-10 20:17:59 Could not connect to bbd (at) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1985 -
Connection refused
2007-04-10 20:17:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection
failed
(replaced actual IP with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

Additionally, both in my previous install of hobbit and the current
snapshot I'm seeing the following messages written to
/var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log:
2007-04-10 18:13:16 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1985
2007-04-10 18:13:16 Setting up local listener
2007-04-10 18:13:17 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 15

2007-04-10 18:16:21 Task hobbitd terminated by signal 6
2007-04-10 18:16:21 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 15

I will install gdb and see if I can get more info to provide but am
wondering if this is a known issue. I need help as I need to complete a
bb4->hobbit migration by next Friday, have a meeting scheduled tomorrow
to show my progress, and hobbit is "dead" at the moment.

Help?
