SqueakSource is up again.
The description of Michael exactly fits to what happened this time...  
We originally guessed that it has to do with the vm because we had to  
use an old 3.2 solaris version. But as it seams that problem also  
happens on newer and other platforms. One thing that has happened to  
us several times was that the ui was not responding anymore but with  
an alt-. you could bring it back to life instantly. That did not work  
this time. Another strange thing is that the regular saving of the  
image (for persisting the meta data) suddenly stops because the delay  
that we use suddenly waits not only one hour as it should but some  
thousand hours... We also guessed that this has to do with the vm. I  
hope that with the new server and some work we can make SqueakSource  
stable in the future. Since all committed versions are written to  
disc, there should be no loss of data with these failures apart from  
meta-data which can be reconstructed automatically except for changes  
in access rights, or the registration of new users.
