It turns out that since the server move the "we haven't heard from you" 
alerts have been broken due to a difference in installed Perl modules. I 
have fixed that. At least some of these machines have alerts configured, 
so future failures of this kind should result in emails to their owners.


If the perl scripts are crashing, which is the most likely cause of no 
reporting at all, please let me know ASAP with details.
