On Feb 26 2007 at 20:00, bl-bldxp01/trunk experienced a service outage for ~12 hours.

'''What was effected:'''

Tests of Firefox trunk on Windows.

'''What was the cause of the outage:'''

The tinderbox process was showing as <defunct> in the process table.

'''What will be done to prevent this in the future:'''

Coop restarted tinderbox in a new shell. Also applied all pending Windows updates, and updated the cygwin tools.

Apparently multi-tinderbox is known to hang on XP, so there is a shell script (tbox.sh) that should be used to start the process instead.
