This resulted in an outage that was fixed in a couple of days by the local engineers, but it looks like the LFM list got particularly traumatised by the event and needed a restart, which happened only 10 minutes ago, after Nic Tapon alerted me something was weird. After a restart everything seems to work and don't ask me why: "Le c?ur a ses raisons que la raison ne conna?t point". Bottomline: if you sent a message between September 2nd and today then please send it again because it got lost somewhere in the German black forest. Sorry for the inconvenience. Giorgio F.
