This is usually an indication that Hobbit has crashed.

Check the /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.log for strange messages
(it's usually almost empty), and also hobbitlaunch.log for 
messages like "hobbitd terminated by signal ..."

If you see a message about "heartbeat lost", try removing
the HEARTBEAT setting in hobbitlaunch.cfg - there are some
cases where it doesn't really work well, and kills hobbitd
without it being necessary.
