~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOBBITHOST hobbitd_alert" will
drop that hobbitd_alert column and should stop the messages from being
repeated.

However, I think you're missing the one fix that was added after I
first announced the post-RC4 patch - so your alert messages get
repeated every minute. Change line 1488 of hobbitd/do_alert.c from
     rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 0);
t
     rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 1);

There will be an RC5 because of this confusion.
