[comp.sources.d] osu-cis crash

saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu (a.k.a. osu-cis) ate his CPU data cache
board for a midnight snack last night at ~2am or thereabouts.  After
much frantic and ponderous interpretation of the cryptic runes of COS
Frame E and the stochastic hacking of board-swapping, the problem was
finally diagnosed and corrected around 3pm.  No mail or news was lost,
but he's a solid 13 hours behind the flood of news and mail that goes
through him, and the archives were inaccessible as well.  Performance
of the machine is still poor while he continues to be flogged by
assorted network neighbors, but he should be caught up by late
Wednesday or so.
