Comment 2 for bug 2088

I don't know if it's relevant or not, but the only time I've seen this problem (which I reported in the duplicate bug #28721) it was immediately after launchpad had gone down for its weekly update. When I refreshed the page it worked, and still showed something to the effect of "launchpad will be going down very, very soon" even though it was actually on the way back up at the time.
