There was a web site outage for OSAF, for the chandlerproject.org  
landing page and the wiki, from about 11pm PST last night.

I had to reboot the server to restore access, as I couldn't ssh to the  
box in a timely fashion.  It looks something like a web-crawler robot  
gone awry, but I haven't tracked it down yet.  (An "innocent" robot  
can sometimes do this, as there are many links on our pages, like  
backlinks, RSS feeds, and more which can take up a lot of CPU if they  
are accessed.  I have many of these blocked to the biggest robots, but  
frequently find more.)

Thanks for the report, Sheila.

I have a todo item to restore at least some basic site monitoring from  
an offsite service to shorten the time in which we detect these errors.
