Are you perhaps using NFS (or some other network filesystem) and using
"soft" mounts with a non-zero timeout? Check the output of "df -T .".

I think a more specific point to be made is that it is a few select people

suspect. Neither org associates with the other and their platforms are in many

My opinion is that one of the reasons other languages need a framework is
that the standard library is too hard to work with. So the frameworks take
