Hmm. It's possible that hobbitnet (?) died or was hung up... Or that the
pages weren't representative of the same run (eg, bbgen could have died
during its generation).

Questions: Do you recall the page timestamps being the same? If you
clicked through to the tests when it was happening, did the (dynamic) test
page match the (static) color in the grid? Has the problem started
recently, is it repeating, and was there anything interesting in the logs
at the time?
