hmmmm.  I would say you either crashed one of the servers or at least
confused it??  See what happens if you get an email response from them,
maybe send another to them with the error message pasted into the email,
Im curious to see their response.

Walmart IT is definately pro linux, surprises me they would stoop to
this level, maybe the photo portion of the site is outsourced who knows?
