Vagn crashed again at 9.47. I will soon make it available to you again.

As I am just a stand-in admin while both the usual Vagn admins are
unavailable today, I am not 100% familiar with how you are supposed to
use Vagn, but I am pretty certain that you are asked to use the
"interactive" command to reserve a non-shared analysis node if you are
to run memory-hungry applications, instead of just running them on the
login node.
