I was just joking. I'm actually quite happy that you report these
bugs, because for some reason your setup exercises all of the
corner-cases that Hobbit should handle OK, but where it is easy to
implement something that works "most of the time". But "most of the
time" just isn't good enough for a critical system such as Hobbit - 
monitoring has to work *all* of the time.

So your testing of Hobbit really is useful as quality control.

Punch cards ... I just missed those, my class at the university was
the first one to use 8" floppy disks instead of punch-cards.
