	Hi!

 No worries, actually we are facing three things that more or less broke
at the same time, so it's easy to think of a connection. :)

 For a start, the build-logs are accessible again thanks to weasel who
adjusted the new default vhost that got installed to also allow access
to them again. :)

 That might be true (and hopefully a place for improvements ;)), but it
shouldn't last _that_ long.

 Thanks for digging that up. And I think it really might be related to
that because:

 The process 2441 is now already running since more than an hour. An
strace on the process doesn't really yield much:

#v+

 (that's time between the different syscalls in the first column)

 I just killed it again.

 But _that_ long? I rather suspect there to be a bug somewhere in po4a
related to not being able to work well with broken po files.

 You can see it in webwml cron repository:
<http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/cron/parts/7doc_manuals?revision=HEAD&view=markup>

 So long!
