I e-mailed Norm ,one of the managers of listserv, and this is what he said:
"Last night, LISTSERV had a severe problem, dying and automatically being
restarted over and over again. Apparently, as part of that crashing
problem, it sent out the LACTNET midnight digest multiple times (apparently
it was crashing in the middle of sending it, and when it came back up would
say, "oops, still haven't completed the LACTNET digest, better do it"). I
wrote to Eric, who said that it had to do with a particular bug
interacting with the daylight savings time change. Apparently no other
site has had this problem, which I guess is the breaks. Anyway he told me
what to do to work around it, I did it, and it seems to be working fine.
However the problem is mostly triggered by stuff that typically happens
late at night, so we'll see how things go tonight. This is not the same
problem some subscribers were seeing at other times recently."
