[Box-Admins] squeaksource.com issues

[David T. Lewis]

Hmmm, browsing through the Members tab on http://squeaksource.com shows that
we have ullrilad.feld.cvut.cz registered twice as user "ullriad", one time
using initials "LU" and another time using initials "ul". And we have Levente's
account registered with user initials "UL".

It looks to me like someone doing a class project (project "bin_tree") back
in 2009, and was perhaps trying to find some way to register the initials "UL"
that were already taken by Levente's existing account. And presumably there
is a bug in squeaksource related to matching uppercase/lowercase. I'm surprised
that this problem has not bitten us before.

Memory usage and performance seem fine now, but I think that the image
was recently restarted?

I will be away for most of the next few days so I may not be able to
follow up further.

Dave
