Hi--

I'm on barker-5-5.  Every once in a while, as I'm typing along, the 
screen will go black for a moment -- just under a second.  The
intreval between occurrances is random -- anywhere from four or five
seconds to a minute or so.

Also, if it hasn't been reported, barker 5-1 is down.  The athena
screen saver is running, but keyboard input doesn't have any effect --
i.e. the athena screen saver drifts happily along.  The kbd is
connected....
