[hobbit] hist files

[Michael Frey]

The following error occured while attempting to apply the patch:

[hobbit at nbtbigbro1 hobbit-4.2-beta-20060605]$ patch -p0 
<history-missing.patch 
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file lib/availability.c
Hunk #4 FAILED at 304.
Hunk #5 FAILED at 321.
2 out of 8 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file lib/availability.c.rej
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file hobbitd/hobbitd_history.c

cannot find file 'lib/availability.c.rej'

I can find no corelation of events to anything near the timeframe this 
happened.  Our environment was patched at 3 AM, and this all occured at 
5:30AM.

The Hobbit server is Linux, so it did not receive any patches.

Others said the Hobbit page was 'going crazy', and a supervisor reset the 
Hobbit server.  (the Hobbit server is a VMware virtual server, and 
resetting was the easy solution)

I have no details on what 'going crazy' means, no one is helpful.

ok, the attached patch should let you read the history file again.
It cannot bring back the events that were lost, of course - but at least
you should be able to view the history.

I cannot see how that could happen, but just in case the patch modifies
the history module to not log anything that doesn't have a valid color
code.

The time when this happened, would it happen to concide with any
cron-jobs, disk intensive activity, or anything else that might cause
file operations to fail or go slow ?
