There is some new pause-handling code on that server, so I'm not surprised
to see some weirdness.  I ran a script to reset your update time, and I
added some debug assertions to see if we can track the problem down.  It's
possible that there was an error during the last database upgrade, and
that there isn't actually a bug, but we'll see.

Thanks for the heads-up.
