Strangely enough, one of the technical staff eventually replied to
our 'WTF happened?' email(s)/calls this morning (our time) and informed
us that, as far as he was aware, it was a very quick 'brown out' -

to kick in like they usually do at the strategic moment; obviously some
of the other hardware they have there disagreed...
