Hi Henrik

Thanks for helping on this. I rebooted this morning. Could the memory leak still effect me in that short time?

No "failed allocation" in dmesg output. Do you want the full output?

OK - something similar did happen on my own system a few days ago, but it was so bizarre I wonder if it could happen on two boxes in the same week :-) The Linux kernel was leaking memory, so eventually it ran out of network bufferspace and Hobbit couldn't send responses anywhere.

Could you try running "dmesg" and see if there are any "failed allocation" messages at the bottom ? This should really only list the messages you see during boot-up and any hardware detection that has happened.

Also, send me a "vmstat 4 20" output from the box.

If you run

~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard"

does that hang ? What if you do

~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard host=YOUR.HOBBIT.HOSTNAME"
