The problem was caused by squid not running on www.FreeBSD.org, so it
needed to be manually restarted.  The root cause was that too many
query-pr requests were running simultaneously, which caused
www.FreeBSD.org to run out of memory and swap.  The query-pr CGI
script has been "fixed" so it shouldn't be able to do this again.
