(...) Good news. It turned out to be a bug in some of my own code. It was hard to find but easy to fix. Technical details follow. I was able to reproduce the symptoms of the problem by asking the webserver for a bogus URL that confused it, for (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.announce)

  Re: Server freakage today
 
(...) No -- the load from something like that would still be very low relative to something like this. Something like this is either a very sneaky DoS attack or the server stepping on its own feet due to an internal bug. I highly suspect the latter. (...)
