It does go down for maintenance, but my colleague Steve has just called me
( I'm in California at the mo') and sez that the box had a kernel panic.
This is the second time that's happened since I put a grsec kernel on it,
so he's rebooting now with a vanilla kernel. Apologies for the
inconvenience.

I won't be online again till Monday and then only briefly so if the box
goes down again drop steve at perforce dot com a line and he'll sort it
out. I'll beat it into a more permanent submission on my return.
