   webster servers are broken.

The file server on which the dictionary database files are stored went
down from approximately 1:04 PM to 1:25 PM today; during that time,
the webster servers could not function.

I don't think we have enough space on both webster servers to have
copies of the dictionary locally on the machine; however, I believe
that one of them has enough disk space, so I will install a local copy
of the dictionary on that server in order to provide at least partial
recovery in the face of this type of failure.

Thank you for reporting the problem.
