photuris-08 contains:

      The careful reader will undoubtedly notice that this scenario is    |
      somewhat tongue-in-cheek.  Repeated crashes of servers might be     |
      fixed by changing to a different vendor....                         |

It's worth pointing out that sometimes server outages are caused by
power failures, which are usually beyond the control of the either the
installation or the server vendor.  

Photuris implementations should be engineered to behave gracefully
during a severe startup transient; the cleanest way to do this may
well be for responders to temporarily stop responding to cookie
requests if the number of pending exchange computations got too
large..
