I noticed that my hobbitfetch process had hung. It was consuming all available CPU. I ran strace for a while and saw no activity, so I tried killing the process, and saw this...

[root at ldap hobbit]# strace -p 20466 Process 20466 attached - interrupt to quit --- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) --- time(NULL) = 1166824795 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1279, ...}) = 0 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1279, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 131072, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7dd5000 read(4, "TZif\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\5\0\0\0\5\0"..., 131072) = 1279 close(4) = 0 munmap(0xb7dd5000, 131072) = 0 stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1279, ...}) = 0 write(2, "2006-12-22 15:59:55 ", 20) = 20 write(2, "Caught TERM signal, terminating\n", 32) = 32 sigreturn() = ?

Any ideas on where to look? hobbitfetch.log is completely barren.
