For those wondering why there was a quick blip of some WU's
around 01:00 GMT, and then zilch!

From the SAH2 frontpage:

We found and fixed the no results bug. It was a malformed embedded SQL
query. But we are leaving the scheduler off overnight to let the
transitioner work through it's backlog. The transitioner works a great deal
faster with a small backlog and we hope yesterday's changes will go a long
way in preventing a large backlog from recurring.

Yesterday we introduced a bunch of performance enhancements to the system.
During the course of letting the system run overnight, we have detected a
bug that keeps results from being spent to hosts. It looks at though this
bug has only been around for about 13 hours. While we are debugging this
issue we have decided to shutdown the scheduler and try and let the
transitioners pick up the pace a bit.
