Try http://www.newscientist.co.uk/dailynews/news.jsp?id=ns9999672 for a
description of the problems. It seems that the problem was caused by the
integration of all the modules which are like mini-LANS into one big LAN. Silly
folks at NASA tried to fix it the _SAME_ way 3 times, with each backup, instead
of trying something different when it became apparent their strategy wasn't
working (i.e. after the first or second time they tried it).
