I'm currently running a recent snapshot (4.3.0-20061124) and having lots of problems with hobbitfetch randomly crashing 10+ times per day. Needless to say this is making my graphs look terrible. On the other hand, I have another installation of Hobbit that is running 4.2.0 (plus the all-in-one patch), that uses hobbitfetch for hundreds of hosts without any problems.
So my question is, will downgrading my current install to 4.2.0 fix my Hobbitfetch problems? I did a diff on the 2 hobbitfetch.c versions and there is a slight difference - looks like the newer version has some added code to handle IP settings in the pulldata tag, but it doesnt look like anything that would cause crashes.
I know Henrik is aware of this problem and I'm sure he will fix it when he can. I'm looking for a temporary band-aid until then though :)

I'd be interested to hear if there is a difference in behaviour between the two versions.
It should be OK to just downgrade hobbitfetch, leaving the rest of Hobbit as-is.

I've replaced the malfunctioning binary with the known good one from my other server (same OS and glibc version), I will report if it still crashes or not.

I'd like to report that after replacing the hobbitfetch binary with the one from my 4.2.0 server, I have had no crashes since.
