I am running 4.2.0 with the allinone patch. I do have a suspicion that external server side scripts could contribute to the stale alerts. In my case, specifically a script that ssh's to a remote host and executes a shell script on the remote host. It may also happen in conjunction with these errors in the logs, which someone else recently reported:
Hmm. For the machines in question, we have a client-side script that automatically restarts certain processes that tend to die on their own. It's not all of the time, but when it restarts them, it seems Hobbit sometimes gets these stale alerts. Thankfully it seems the fix is just to restart the Hobbit server, but this should still be fixed eventually.

As soon as the issue with tooltips is resolved, I will be moving our primary hobbit to the snapshot release. ~David
Sounds like this is something we should consider as well.
