hobbitd_alert crashed earlier this afternoon. Hobbit started to send out alerts like this
red - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!

Since I had not applied the post RC4 patch to my RC4 instance, I figured I must have run into the hobbitd_alert bug. So I stopped hobbit, applied the patch to the source, make clean, make, make install. Restarted hobbit.
Now it appears to be working because the alert module is sending out actual alerts (mrtg alerts and vmio to high alerts). However, I am still getting those hobbitd_alert crashed messages, but its running with a ps -ef....
How can I get rid of the 100 or so per hour of hobbitd_alert crashed emails that are being sent out.

~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOBBITHOST hobbitd_alert" will drop that hobbitd_alert column and should stop the messages from being repeated.
However, I think you're missing the one fix that was added after I first announced the post-RC4 patch - so your alert messages get repeated every minute. Change line 1488 of hobbitd/do_alert.c from rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 0); t rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 1);
There will be an RC5 because of this confusion.
