Hi Mark!
I can shed a bit of light on that: the bots were alledgedly continuously reconnecting to the IRC network.
Yes, because they crashed every time - ISTR some IRC library wasn't compatible with an updated SBCL and we ran into some ERROR condition _after_ connecting.
Then the shell script restarted them...
Thanks for the information: more than enough for me to debug when I get the time.
How about moving them to the new host, so that you can use the "newest" or at least _more_ current version of SBCL??
