Apparently there's an obscure bug in webster (/mit/sipb/vaxbin) that appears
only on a small number of words:  An attempt to lookup "surfactant" halts for
a long time, and eventually returns the message:

The webster server appears to be broken.
Please try again, and if it doesn't work,
  send mail to bug-sipb to let the SIPB know.

Other words appear to work fine; this problem has appeared repeatedly.

Thx,
NO
