IMHO it sucks! 2.5 years in the top 10 - now down to page 4 (so I would say that).
However, this sort of happened in September and things evened out after a few weeks.

Looks to me that MSN is showing a complete fill from Ink just now - results are identical at Positiontech and MSN for a key benchmark phrase I monitor.

Inktomi are trying to resolve a DNS issue since Nov 4th when they tweaked their algorithm the wrong way. Many, many pages are not being crawled and not included because of it. PT expectes this whole issue to settle down by weeks end. They failed to mention which week, however.

Looks like the status-quo has been restored! I see lots of new sites but my expected positions are back.
