30 minutes after the upgrade?
More like an hour.
  I haven't been able to find anything in the logs yet, but 
I'm still
looking.
What you are looking for is bbtest-net not running...
Is there a process for this?  I don't see it.  Or is there a specific log I can see this in?
Looking for something to stop the paging assault, I stop/started
hobbit, and the purples cleared.
When bbtest-net was restarted...  and updates started...
Yeah, that makes sense.  It hasn't happened again since I started it, but I was also a little wary of an ntp check I added, so I removed that.

(I added an ntp check which wasn't showing up, and after I stopped hobbit I noticed a few spawned ntpdate processes sticking around.  Probably unrelated.)

You'll only see this as a process when it runs. You can see in the
hobbitlaunch.log file when it was started
   2005-06-16 07:26:50 Task bbnet started with PID 28254

No, it's quite possible that you've found the real problem.

Adding the ntp test causes bbtest-net to run "ntpdate". If that command
hangs, bbtest-net will stall waiting for it to complete. So if ntpdate
never completes, your network tests will stop being updated because
it is waiting forever for this command to complete.

That makes sense.  What options does hobbit use for ntpdate to check an ntp server?  I want to run it by hand and see what happens.

That makes sense.  What options does hobbit use for ntpdate to check an ntp server?  I want to run it by hand and see what happens.
ntpdate -u -q -p 2 HOSTNAME

ntpdate -u -q -p 2 HOSTNAME
Yes, that command just sits there.

Would it be possible to add some sort of timeout in bbtest-net where if ntpdate doesn't return within an amount of time it will just kill it?

Maybe Henrik, in his own interest, should modify the sslcert check to 
warn 7 days before his birthday :-)

Happy birthday Henrik.

Thanks to the anonymous person who sent me Stevens' "Advanced
Programming in the Unix environment", this was a simple thing to do.
It's in the next version.
