Well, I spoke too soon about hosts disappearing. I'm still seeing the same problem. Is there anything I can do to help in debugging this?

This is with the beta-5 version PLUS the patch I posted yesterday ?

First, check if the hobbit daemon is still responding at all. You can see if the ~server/tmp/hobbitd.chk file is being updated - it should refresh every 10 minutes. You can also try this: If

~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdlog some,server,name.conn"

responds with a status log, then it is responding. If not, proceed:

Next, I want to figure out what the hobbitd proces is doing. You'll need the gdb (GNU debugger) for that. Login as the hobbit user, Find the process ID of hobbitd - it's recorded in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.pid, or use "ps" - then:

gdb ~/server/bin/hobbitd [gdb messages] gdb> attach <hobbitd-processid> gdb> bt

Let me know what this shows.
