You may or may not know this, but here goes---

It looks like the Webster server is down.  I got the following message
for a few words that were obviously spelled correctly:

Yessir? webster company
The webster server has failed to answer the request to look up your word.
This could be because the webster server is down, or because your word is
too long and the server can't find it.  Try looking up "run" -- if that
works, then you've probably misspelled your word.  If it fails, then send
mail to bug-sipb to let the SIPB know that the server is broken.
