Thanks. Mark Sapiro was also skeptical that his gate_news config
change would have any effect. His opinion was that it appeared all
problems related to this problem lie on the news side of things. The
resilience of a distributed system is fine for many things, but makes
it difficult to easily squash these sorts of bugs.
