Horse running fine

[C. Falconer]

I have searched and found no cause for horse to go belly up last week.

Evidence included
        A load average of 15-16
        A number of processes in state D, including a bunch of
apt-extracttemplate processes
        Giving a reboot command from remote hung the machine.

I recently configured horse to get packages from an apt-proxy server wehich
entailed allowing port 9999 through the firewall to my own server.  I doubt
that caused the problem though.

Any idea?
