Splash/spread has some interesting failure modes that Ben has yet to fix, in particular, if you end up with a high data rate going into spread (such as happens when a splash machine reappears in the spread group, but also under other circumstances) then spread falls over, and all of them crash. Splash needs some work as a result to make it do the rate-limiting itself (we saw this happen with splashcache at the bunker). You might also be interested to know that sepulchre (the machine which runs anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk) is probably still running FreeBSD 2.2.6... :-)
Check with Ben for the exact failure modes, but I know a fair amount of work was done on trying to establish what the problem was (though not fixing them, as far as I know).
