I admin and consult on numerous Hobbit installations.  This particular 
one is a small web cluster whose dedicated hosting provider has no IDS 
or decent firewall, as they get hit by these sorts of attacks and the 
only way to stop them is to request the blockage of specific IPs.  I 
didn't mean to imply the "patch" I submitted was for everyone, just 
those who might find it useful :)
