RE: [hobbit] Hobbits are good sneaks

How did you resolve it?
What caused it?

Did you come up with a workaround?

It sounds like the NVIDIA drivers are the common denominator here, but
we need to update all our desktops, and this is a bit of a show-stopper.

Yes, it was at least a year ago, and I was looking at hobbit-4.1.2 IIRC.
It was the same sort of bizarre environment poisoning you describe, and
I also saw it when trying to update nvidia drivers.
