Yep ☹ Current workaround is to execute broctl start via cron every  
minute. The manager and sometimes the proxy crash every hour or so  
(but not on the hour).

... and the stack backtraces you get are still looking like the one  
shown in this ticket? (I.e., it's not the 101 error in particular?)

My cluster is running stable now (with all processes running on  
different boxes).

Ah, new error:

1317470292.374975 internal error in  
/usr/local/bro-git/share/bro/base/protocols/http/./main.bro, line 269:  
field value missing (HTTP::c$http$status\_code)  
/usr/local/bro-git/share/broctl/scripts/run-bro: line 60: 17933  
Aborted (core dumped) nohup $mybro $@

Looks like another easy one involving the nested data structures not  
checking for intermediate structs.

Yep, it was fixed yesterday in the repository.
