Next time, please do a "kill -6" and run the resulting coredump through
gdb to get the stacktrace (see the "Reporting bugs" online help).

If possible, I'd also like to have a copy of the coredump and the
hobbitfetch binary.
I've sent you a couple of those in the past...

On a whim, I specified IP addresses for those servers (rather than
0.0.0.0) and the infinite loop issue went away.  I still get the - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!

message on the hobbitfetch monitoring page, but it is still pulling down
data much of the time.
