I checked to make sure the lines were correct in maint.pl. I am reinstalling 4.0.1, again and will let you know how it goes.
OK, so it does dump core.
To get some more info about this, you need the core file *and* the hobbitd binary that generated it. Then run
$ gdb bin/hobbitd tmp/core [messages from gdb] gdb> bt
to load the core file and the hobbitd binary into gdb (the GNU debugger), and the the "bt" command will provide a call trace of what happened when the program crashed, that is the first piece of information that is needed to find the bug.
