We think we found the problem and fixed it. Again, thanks to everyone
who reported this problem. After some testing we decided it would be
save if bastet's bandwidth authority switched over to sbws again. This
happened with the 1600 UTC vote. Please keep your eyes open in case
there are more critical bugs lurking and if you find any issue do not
hesitate to report it.

Thanks,
Georg
