I just had a long phone call with Franz Huber, the local system admin 
person.  All the macbroy20..29 and lxlabbroyX machines involved here use 
the same OpenSuse 12.2 with that hg 2.4.  So just empirically that looks 
like the problem -- breakdowns started approx. at the time of update of 
several of these machines.

He will tell me later about further moves.
