Ah OK - I saw the "4.11" and thought you meant "Hobbit 4.1.1".

The gdb trace shows that this happens while processing a "client"
message from a FreeBSD server.

I'd like to see the client message that triggers this. Since it
only happens occasionally (not every 5 minutes), could you setup
some tracing for me:

* Add the option "--trace=your.freebsd.box" to the hobbitd command
  in hobbbitlaunch.cfg. If you have more than one such box, just
  list the hostnames like "--trace=boxA,boxB,...."
* Wait until it crashes - i.e. look for the hobbitd_client status to
  show up.
* Send me the ~hobbit/server/tmp/*.trace files that were generated
  around the time that hobbitd_client crashed.

Hi Henrik,

Ok, I have modified that line in hobbitlaunch.cfg and restarted Hobbit.
I'll let you know if I see the crash again, but it may take a week or so, if
it happens at all.

Thank you,
Greg
