Yesterday, obworker eventually exited with

obworker: network/protocol.cpp:305: void
libbitcoin::protocol::handle_connect(const std::error_code&,
libbitcoin::channel_ptr, const libbitcoin::network_address_type&):
Assertion `connections_.size() <= max_outbound_' failed.

on both my machines (Debian Wheezy and Arch Linux). Sadly, I didn't have
a timestamp as to how soon this happened.

Restarted again now, let's see if it's still present with the updated
latest.

P.S. On the Debian machine, I already see it's reporting having gone to
9 connections, but hasn't exited.
