Something wrong with the RPS server?

I have some changes to Javolin that I wanted to check in, but I 
hesitate to do so, as RPS doesn't seem to be working properly anymore. 
But I don't think that the changes I made to Javolin that could 
possibly cause the behavior that I'm seeing, which is:

I create a new table, and the UI comes up correctly. I click "add bot", 
and then "start game". Although the game seems to have started, the UI 
never switches to showing the hand icons. It just stays in the initial 
configuration. Is this caused by the server, or did I break Javolin in 
some obscure way on my machine?

It's still working fine for me.  Try using the Smack debugger to see
if you're getting the right messages from the referee?

You can send me the diffs if you want me to test them without having
to check them in.

I backed up the changes I made, then re-updated to the latest checked 
in version of Javolin, and that didn't fix it. Then I undid my last 
checked in change to SVGCanvas in case I broke it then and didn't test 
thoroughly enough, and that still didn't fix it. So I think something's 
screwy with Batik on my machine. Again, I can't imagine what could have 
changed, though. I tried deleting the .batik directory in my home dir 
to see if that might help, but I can't test it since the SVG server 
seems to be down again.

SVG server? If you mean the RPS server, it was in fact down for a 
while, and Andy has given me a stern talking-to about making volityd 
auto-revivifying after a server restart. Which it isn't. Oops.

It's running now, though.

BTW, I just used Javolin to play subsequent games of RPS and Eights 
within a single session... great!!
