restarting source.squeakfoundation.org ?

Hi mike

I totally agree.
Here on solaris (I do not know the vm version)  we got weak  
references problems and also some problems
with some semaphores blocking completely SqSource.
We will migrate SqueakSource to a brand new server on mac soon (the  
server is on beta testing now).
I hope that changing the vm will help us to identify the problems.
