This looks remarkably like the error we were experiencing.
What are you running on?
Do you have the case where all the network tests - ping, http, https, ftp etc. go purple?
If so it might be the same.
With Henrik's assistance, we resolved it down to a problem with the ARES resolver.
I changed our hobbitlaunch.cfg file to include the --no-ares option (see below), and we have never had the issue again.
[bbnet]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --no-ares
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
INTERVAL 5m
(Of course this does come with a caveat. See bbtest-net man page in Xymon docs http://www.xymon.com/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bbtest-net.1.html )
YMMV.
Cheers
V

This night, after installing the new bbtest-net, we received an alarm on bbtest for the Xymon server, saying " - Program crashed Fatal signal caught!"
From hobbitlaunch.log: "2009-01-08 05:05:07 Task bbnet terminated by
signal 6"
/Johan
If the program crash, you should have a coredump. Run gdb on the coredump
and post the result here, for Henrik to look at.
