I've released 9.4.42 (a few hours ago). The abbortave release attempt
last night apparently triggered a bug in the desync code that cause
1/2 to 2/3 of the linux machines to try to take the update
approximately immediately when it became available. The primary
effect of this was to badly hose the w20 server subnet for about 20
minutes, causing slowness for various thinga, and apparentl causing a
few people to lose zephyr subs.
I belive that Mitch and to Andrew are thinking about a patch, but I
don't know how hard. It does seem like a bug we should fix though.
