Actually, I think I may know the cause, but when I had time to poke at it last week(?), both of the porterboxes were down, and I haven't had a chance to get back to it yet. (I don't have a pointer handy, but iirc, it looked like there might an upstream patch that we may be able to cherry-pick to fix the problem.)
