This is a known problem, and we're all aware of it : there are many
issues with the LSR architecture, its database, its search function,
and even sometimes the machine that hosts it. Sebastiano has been
doing whatever he could to address it, but every time it seems to get
fixed, it appears to be broken again...

In a way, this shows that the LSR is becoming increasingly successful:
we never had such problems one year ago, when nobody was using it but
me :-)
