I double checked the competition directory on Friday and saved a
copy of the directory listing:

There wasn't an _Undertow_ there on September 8, either, when I
fetched the competition entries for evaluation.

OTOH, I just checked the directory *again*, and now tow.zip, dated
August 30, is there! And now _Undo_ is gone! Something very
strange appears to be going on....
