This seems to be (at least partially) corrected now but I wanted to make sure
that it was doccumented in case it helps in tracking it down if it happens again.

This morning between 10 and 11 am I was downloading mozilla builds from the
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2000-12-13-08-Mtrunk/ directory.  The
download caused my browsers (mozilla nightly, navigator 4.7 and IE 5.5) to
freeze near the end of the download and when I went to look at the directory
after I rebooted my machine the directory was no longer visable.

comments from granrose: files/directories on the NFS share don't appear to all
be copied to the ftp site, and that the win32 datedir appears to be missing
(files should be in the -09 but arent).

This was not a Mozilla browser problem.  I checked in two other browsers and had
similar difficulties.

the kicker is that the win32 files in the latest directory have 8-9am timestamps 
and should be in a 2000-12-13-08 or -09 directory but aren't.  That directory 
had disappeared until hpux finished a few minutes ago.

Moving to nobody until we have better picture of where we'll be going with 
mozilla.org support by IC.
