This usually indicates some sort of corruption of the memory
allocation inside hobbitd_rrd. Since hobbitd_rrd depends on the
rrdtool library, it could also be a problem with that.

Since it's glibc you're probably on a Linux/Intel platform.
Would it be possible for you to run the hobbitd_rrd command
through the "Valgrind" memory checker ? I don't know if
Valgrind is included with your distribution - it is part
of the standard Debian release, but your distro might be
different. If you can get it installed, then just change
the command in the "[rrddata]" section from

CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log \
    hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

to

CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log \
    valgrind --log-file=$BBSERVERLOGS/valgrind.log \
    hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd

Let it run until the errors shows up, then send me the valgrind.log.*
files.
