Wonder why patchwatcher was down for 12 hours? It seems to have been a kernel problem.
This is on an Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit Core 2 Duo system on a P5K Pro motherboard, with a PCI-E NVidia card. I have the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed, so I can't expect support from anybody, but I did want to at least kvetch in public somewhere.
The build slave was unresponsive. Upon rebooting, I found the following in /var/log/messages:

It crashed in the middle of a wine build. The last thing in the patchwatcher log was make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/patchslave/winezeug/patchwatcher/wine-continuous-workdir/active/dlls' make[2]: Entering
BIOS reported the temperature was 56 degrees after rebooting, fwiw.
This is the first problem on this machine since I set it up several weeks ago.
I guess I'll just reboot it and hope...
