ooookay (and i assume you mean the hobbitd_client service), that does indeed make it Go Away - but, if it ever crashes again for any reason, it will reappear red then go perma-purple again, requiring another manual Drop, yes?

Surely there's a better way to handle this..?
Yes there is - fix the bug that makes hobbitd_client crash, and you
won't see any hobbitd_client statuses. Ever.

For starters, check that you are running the latest version (4.1.2p1 -
the older versions do have bugs in the hobbitd_client code). And check the "Reporting Bugs" part of
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html
