Based on the core trace, I decided to remove all files from 
~/server/tmp/.  I do not think we had removed any files from running 
RC1,2,4-6 from '~/server/tmp/' so perhaps it was choking on something 
(hobbitd.chk)?  It has been running clean for more than an hour.  It 
typically dumps core before an hour has passed and the purple trends 
occur before an hour of running too.  I did have to re-disable my 
disabled hosts of course.  So far it looks good!  Thanks for your help 
Henrik.
