There is a _big bug_ in the clean.pl script in the readable locker.  It
just wiped the whole locker clean, deleting (I assume) lots of stuff
that it shouldn't have.  I know that one or two of the users are
definitely in the queue and shouldn't have been deleted.

Anyway, I recovered what I could from the OldFiles directory, but I
expect that users will have to make stuff readable again over the next
few days and anything put there for pickup will have to be redone...

I'm not sure why it failed; perhaps olist failed in a new and improved
way, and the script didn't catch it...
