Hello there!

I'd like to report problem with sink.infocom.com water server here at Infocom
HQ. When, I used sink this morning, everything worked as usual, until I
attempted to return the cold_water knob to it's original configuration. sink
went into an infinite load pattern, with a small stream of water visibly
scrolling across the basin. There was an open drain in sink at the time,
preventing possible buffer overflow. I noticed the hot_water driver was already
missing, and wondered if it might be related. (perhaps a clean install would
help?). After several attempts, I could not reconfigure the cold_water driver.
Attempts to reboot also failed. 
  While sink is stuck in an infinite load, it is a small stream, and it does not
appear to be in use by any Infocom or Summersault clients. 

Anybody have any advice? Pull the plug? Use a patch? Time for an upgrade?
