(  2008-06-17 15:16:39 -  )   As of 2008-06-17 at 03:10pm Pacific, Project
Statistics will be offline in lead up to the migration tomorrow and the
rtstats service will resume once the migration downtime concludes.

( 2008-06-16 05:23:46 - Marketplace Service, SourceForge.net Community Web
Site, SourceForge.net Web Site, Wiki service )   Our sister site, Slashdot,
recently completed their migration to our new Chicago datacenter. The
SourceForge.net site will perform the next leg of its migration starting
2008-06-18 at 03:00 Pacific. Migration is expected to last no more than 12
hours. During this window (except the actual cutover, when a brief service
interruption may occur), the site will remain online in read-only mode. CVS,
Subversion, Mailing List and Project Web services will not be impacted; they
are slated for migration in the near future.

Yes. This is known to be related to Miguel's checkin where he converted
'uplevel' to execute its script via bytecode compilation instead of
eval-direct. The committed patch can be found at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=310894&aid=1973096&group_i
d=10894

This entry also references the two open bugs about the testsuite failures.
