hobbit-client: segfault on several systems

[Alexander Keller]

Hi all,

I'm currently testing hobbit und I'm quite satisfied with it. Great
monitoring tool! Hobbit will definitely replace our BigBrother installation.

But yesterday a somehow strange error occured. About 15 hobbit clients
suddenly died (all at the same time! +/- 5min) They all wrote a
core file.

Some clients reported a segfault:
hobbitlaunch[15432]: segfault at 00007fff75d42a48 rip 00000000004047ad rsp 00007fff75d42a50 error 6

I compiled the clients from snapshot version 20071026. The server is
already version 20080115.

Client-Systems are Debian Linux Sarge/Etch and Solaris.

gdb-Output (gdb ./client/bin/hobbitlaunch core) :

Are there any suggestions? Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!
