7/19    what was the cause of the crash?
        \_ Snow Crash.
        \_ kernel panic as a result of procmail (I know, I know, it's odd
           and we're looking into it). As stated above the line, we are
           hereby encouraging any donations of any form you'd like to scrape
           together (email politburo@csua) --michener
           \_ Maybe current politburo should get their heads out of their butts
              and get a clue rather than throwing money into new hardware.
              \_ ok, how about something a bit more constructive?  in what
                 way politburo is not doing their job?
                 \_ Soda is brand new.  IF it is a hardware problem, everything
                    in the box is under warranty.  Maybe RMA the RAM.  Maybe
                    figure out why soda did fine for weeks and weeks.  "Donate
                    hardware if you can" sounds like a copout to me.
                    \_ Soda, though some parts were seemingly bought on the
                       black market, is fine. Soda's basically the last thing
                       that needs replacing. It's the supportive machines that
                       need some help. And when the supportive machines are
                       happier, soda will hopefully not have to go down due to
                       mail shit. --michener
