Hi folks, I know its been posted there, but I personally feel at least one of these individuals should come from the OpenACS community. I suspect we're a fairly significant 'other' project that depends heavily on it, and as its firmly part of future OpenACS strategy that kinda makes sense.

Hi, I just had my production AOLserver croak on me. After driving the load up on the box to about 18.0 (on a 4-way E3800) it spat this out in the server.log: alloc: invalid block: ff2bb898: ff 70 0 alloc: invalid block: ff2bb898: ff 70 0 Then nsd died. The error is coming from Tcl's
