The server which runs bit0.us-west (which is also svn0.us-west), is
totally bogged down.

CPU:  3.1% user,  0.0% nice, 96.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  1.0% idle

As it has just been updated to the latest stable/9 I'm a bit
suspicious of that...

Thanks for letting us know. I will start poking people.
