Hi Bill,

I looked at the logs on motherlode.  The logs were loaded with messages
about your host, snow, like the following:

There was only one other site for which these messages occurs.  This
site is in Costa Rica, and we have been working with them regarding bad
connectivity.  This, coupled with the fact that nobody else reported
having such problems, makes me thing the problem was at your site.

In looking  at the logs there were some connectivity problems on 6/29
around 2:30Z.

Then, around 14Z things started failing:

After this the "can't decode arguments" problem continues up through
about 17:50Z today.  After that there are just a RECLASS and a "time
elapsed" message, but otherwise it looks as though the problem has gone
away.

Did something happen on your campus?
