Hot on the heels of 4.1.0 comes 4.1.1, fixing the bugs 
that have been reported today by the courageous people who
dare to install a ".0" release.

Of course, now that it has become ".1" it is perfect :-)

This should actually build on systems that have PCRE headers in a 
non-default location or use Korn shell; it will get the "disk" status 
color right; it won't flood your Hobbit server with "vmstat" processes;
and a couple of annoying crashes got fixed as well.

My apologies - this one should be a lot better.


Regards,
Henrik.

Changes from 4.1.0 -> 4.1.1
---------------------------

Bugfixes:
* The Hobbit client mis-interpreted the "df" output from 
  filesystems with longer-than-usual device names (e.g.
  network-mounted filesystems, resulting in some rather
  incredible values for the disk utilisation.
* hobbitsvc.cgi could crash if some of the input parameters
  from the URL were missing. This would only happen if
  you accessed it via a URL that was not created by Hobbit.
* The hobbitlaunch.cfg file for the server was missing a line,
  causing it to run the local client much more often than
  intended.
* A faulty initialisation when reloading the Hobbit daemon state 
  could leave a broken pointer in a log-record. If this 
  was then accessed by a "hobbitdxboard" or a "drop" command,
  hobbitd would crash.

Build problems:
* The "configure" script failed on certain systems with a
  "cannot shift" error.
* Building the client on systems without the PCRE headers
  would fail.
* Building Hobbit - client or server - would fail on a 
  system if the PCRE headers were in a non-standard location.
