Sounds like shared memory/semaphore IPC problems to me.  What's in the

I believe I found the issue.

2006-08-14 10:52:58 Cannot open PID file /home/hobbit/logs/hobbitd.pid:
No such file or directory

Even though I set the log dir to /home/hobbit/log in ./configure, it
seems that make install won't overwrite hobbitserver.cfg with the new
setting (log vs logs). Should it? I must have mistyped it once and it
seems to have stuck.
OK, that does explain it. No, "make install" won't overwrite an existing
hobbitserver.cfg. It will try to add new entries that aren't in the
existing file, but it will not change the existing entries (because
you may have modified them intentionally, and then "make install" 
shouldn't undo them without asking).
