Agreed. Serious meltdown. I think they said something about 8
million hits yesterday. Would be a learning experience for all of
us to learn a bit more about what they are seeing. I've sent a mail
to 'webmaster' to see if we can establish contact.
I noticed that the mars.sgi.com mirror is running Zeus.

more overhead in terms of memory used.
