As at least some of you have noticed t.e.o was very unresponsive one or 
two hours ago.

It took a while to identify the cause, but then I noticed that somebody 
from 239.237.broadband7.iol.cz (88.102.237.239) is running some type of 
web-spider hitting the site att full speed (no pause between requests).

This shouldn't normally be any problem but after a while it found its 
way to the slowest urls on t.e.o. A search on the term "trac" results in 
more than 500 result pages which the spider started to download, one 
after the other.

Anyway, as soon as I blacklisted the ip in the firewall the load avg 
quickly dropped down from 25 to more normal levels.

Please let me know if you notice any more problems.

Cheers,
Jonas
