Yes, it's a bug. It only affects alerts - it's the "hobbitd_alert"
module that crashes, not hobbitd itself.

If this is version 4.1.2, then there's a known bug which is fixed in
4.1.2p1 that has this effect. It's mostly an annoyance, though - 
alerts are not lost because of this, since hobbitlaunch will immediately
re-start the alert task.

hobbitlaunch.log should have a notice about the task terminating
with a signal, and you should have a core file in the ~hobbit/data/tmp/
directory.
