Dave,

I've reported similar issue in Ubuntu about a month ago, see thread
starting at this message: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00545.html

You could confirm you are seeing the same issue by capturing the agent
stdout/stderr and seeing if Filter_License is crashing due to "stack
smashing". (I captured agent stderr/stdout by restarting fossology
service from shell command line.)

The last message in the thread contains my diagnosis of the likely
cause. What I did NOT report to the list was my workaround: I recompiled
Filter_License agent with stack smashing protection disabled, by adding 
"-fno-stack-protector" into CFLAGS_LOCAL in
agents/foss_license_agent/Filter_License/Makefile, and Filter_License
has been running fine ever since. 

Of course, your issue may be something totally different, in which case
someone more qualified than myself will have to help.

Best regards,
-Dragoslav
