Hi Allan,

It seems like there was a slight problem with the server, maybe some
filesystem that was down or something. I'm re-running the spider now and
everything seems ok (but it's taking an aweful amount of time, but that
might be expected I guess).

Yes, looks like someone DoS'd search.apache.org/index.cgi, load went very high, which seems to have confused the OS enough to lose knowledge about /x2 where the web sites live. The machine was rebooted and things work again.

Pretty scary...
