MariaDB crash issue

The MariaDB database server pair that powers

wiki.gentoo.org, bugs.gentoo.org & forums.gentoo.org has hit a bug, and isn't behaving cleanly.

The Infra team is working on the issue, with the help of the MySQL project.

Update (2017-10-19)

Workarounds have been found for the issue, but a full resolution will be undertaken with upcoming database moves.
