Yeah sorry about that! There are many things that can impact 0-day
system's stability: regressions, hard disk replacement, proxy issues,
mailing list kicking off, vocations, etc. Which should improve over
time as we add monitoring and self-test facilities. On the other hand,
if you find such issues, please don't hesitate forwarding the error
emails to us, so that we can check and take action quickly.

Thanks,
