Unfortunately, eelpout got kicked off the nice shiny ARM server it was
running on so last week I moved it to a rack mounted Raspberry Pi.  It
seems to be totally I/O starved causing some timeouts to be reached,
and I'm looking into fixing that by adding fast storage.  This may
take a few days.  Sorry for the noise.
