I noticed they're not text files so I assume there is some bb utility
to
read them.  With the exception of these core* files, I would expect
Hobbit
to peak at 200MB which I could do in a ~3 minutes
You can delete the core files, but you should also try to find out why
the are
created.  If you use rsync, you can exclude these core files from being
rsync'd

.. and you can check "why they crashed" with

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html#bugreport

# If one of the Hobbit tools crashes and leaves a core-file (usually in
the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory), please use the gdb tool to pinpoint
where the crash occurred:

    * Login as the Hobbit user
    * $ cd ~/server
      $ gdb bin/PROGRAMFILE tmp/COREFILE
      then at the gdb> prompt, execute the command
      gdb> bt


Cheers,
