Broken CL Bots (was: Re: common-lisp.net http stopped running)

I think one of the more urgent bots is the one on #common-lisp.net which authenticates new signups for our gitlab.

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.
