Program crashed, fatal signal etc. 🔗 link

On my hobbit server, hobbitd_client is crashing continuously and I don't   know why.  It was fine last week and for many weeks prior; i came in this AM to find it being odd.  Nothing has been added or changed.  It is version 4.2.0.

I have a core file, where shall i send it?

I think you're hitting the exact same problem I had that Henrik responded to me just over a week ago. So far after following Henrik's advice I have no had any repeats of the same problem.
Quoting Henrik:

Adding a "--no-ares" option to the bbtest-net command in
hobbitlaunch.cfg might help; we know there is a bug in the C-ARES
library used for DNS lookups, but it is apparently something which only triggers occasionally (or in specific setups).

I tried this.  No dice.  After doing this, dropping the hobbitd_client test, and restarting the hobbitserver, it still crashes, goes red, then purple and stays purple; if i drop the test again, it goes away for a little while, but then comes back.

I've no idea what's causing this.  Can i send this corefile anywhere?
