Hi, this was due to a stuck lockfile - I've restarted the crawler now.

This happened earlier today with update-master-directory-list too, which
caused people to get hash mismatches with yum.  What happened was that
/var/run/mirrormanager/crawler.pid and /var/run/mirrormanager/umdl.pid
were empty, which prevented both of these processes from running since
sometime on the 13th.

I'm not sure how this condition occurs - maybe the process updating the
pidfile somehow got killed before it wrote the pid in?  It is strange to
see the exact same problem with two different jobs though.

Thanks,
Ricky
