"bbd" is a network test, probing port 1984 on the host - this port is
only available on the Hobbit server itself.

If you have it listed for a Windows client - with a red/yellow/green
icon, not just the "there's-no-such-test" dash - then you should remove
the "bbd" tag from the bb-hosts entry for your Windows host. And run
   bb 127.0.0.1 "drop WINDOWSHOSTNAME bbd"
to eliminate the bogus status.
