RIPE database update problems

Folks,

We have found (after notification from several people) that we have
some strange things going on with the database every now and again. We
are currently looking into the problem and have suspended all update
requested for now. The updates you send in will be queued, but not
processed until we turn on the database software again. The current
estimate is later tonight.

whois service works as normal.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
