All GCN Sites,

I have determined what was wrong with the distribution of the 051221 burst.
I totally messed up in integrating a new fucntion into the filtering stage
of GCN.  This mistake blocked distribution of Swift-based notices
(both socket and emails) to all non-swift sites (ie the entire world).

I have removed this new function and restarted the GCN program.  (It had been
in the running GCN program for about 3 days total -- this was the only Swift
burst during that time.)  It will be much better tested before installing
the fixed version.

I appreciate the responses people have sent me about who-got-what-or-not.
Since there were some "world" sites that did get notifications,
I can only assume that you got them through secondary exploders
being operated by people/institutions within the Swift project.

My sincere apologies to everyone for this serious mistake.

Sincerely,
Scott
