I've just upgraded my Hobbit server from 4.1 to 4.2 (on a Gentoo 2006.1 host), having had a need for "Disabled until OK" :)
The trouble that I now have is that reports from the client part of the server install are never making it through - all tests have turned purple and the log is full of "data flooding from 127.0.0.1, closing connection".
The problem eventually turned out to be the volume of output from the ps command. We have java server software on the host in question, with a *very* long command line - each line totals over 4K characters
- and over 900 processes. The total output of ps came to some 4 million characters.
By truncating the output of ps at an arbitrary 132 characters that output was cut to about 140 thousand characters and hobbit was happy once more :)
