This is partly caused by the fact that mixminion has some bugs that cause it
to die rather than just reporting errors.

Nick fixed a couple of those this week and they are in CVS, maybe we need to
get them into a release and get people to update.

As I understand it, Nymbaron development is halted because of the flaws in
Nym design. However Mixminion dev is only stopped because Nick and others
are too busy to work on it.

Yes, we really need to get the bugs which make the servers stop fixed in a
release and get people to upgrade. Once that is done hopefully reliability
might improve.
