Apparently orion has been rebooted a couple of times this week, and again
this morning.  I have a cron job that checks to see if the metaserver is
still alive, and restarts it if it doesn't, but somebody edited my crontab
from running it every 5 minutes to only running it at the top of the hour.

It started up again within 9 minutes of your original message.
