Hi Glenn,

I've diagnosed and fixed the problem.  git.sv is now running a new binary.
The trigger was a buggy spider that was provoking an infloop in cgit.
Once there were 15-20 cgit.cgi process stuck in this infloop, the
system would become essentially unusable.

I've just fixed the cgit bug and reported it privately to upstream
and as http://bugzilla.redhat.com/680905 (private, for now).
