Yes, that's correct. It seems to be persistently but intermittently
giving that too. I don't think we should have a special
interpretation for 503 because it really does mean "server down", but
the attached branch tries to give some data about why by showing the
error page text.
It's just possible this is some kind of banning imposed by google
because they dislike being probed, but because I can reproduce it from
an unrelated ip with wget I doubt it.
