The hobbitd executable is available:
http://gthiesfeld.homelinux.org/download/hobbitd

I have 6 hosts.

Thanks,

OK, it's past midnight here and I need to get some sleep, but since
it seems that your setup triggers this easily I'll start with your
dump tomorrow and see what I can find.

If you could make the hobbitd executable available for download also,
that would be nice.

How many hosts do you have, approximately ?

Henrik,

I already killed everything to do with hobbit once, to see if it would
bring
stuff back.  It didn't.  I don't know if that lost the data you're looking
for.  
I did a dump.  You can get it here:

I dont think so. This happens if the Hobbit daemon stops answering
requests - then bbgen thinks nothing has been logged at all, and
displays an empty page. 
I haven't been able to trigger it myself, but maybe some playing
around with renaming hosts will do it.

If it happens again, I would be very interested to get a core-dump of
the hobbitd process. So could you please try killing hobbitd with a
"kill -ABRT <hobbitd-PID>" ? That should cause it to core-dump.
