After a long absense, gb showed up again last night. I'm not sure what's wrong, but here's the transcript:

Is there a problem in my .htaccess file? I'm afraid I don't even follow exactly what it is that went wrong.
Here's my .htaccess:
-------------
ErrorDocument 401 /401error.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404error.html
ErrorDocument 500 /500error.html

Thanks in advance for any help.
2) Googlebot requested "/" (your home page) and your server returned a 302-Moved Temporarily redirect. Not good.
3) After the 302 redirect response, Google requested the URL specified in that response, and some configuration code or a script on your site failed, producing a 500-Server error response.
Your first step should be to carefully review your server error log to find out why the server 'crashed' after the Google requeswted the new URL after the redirect. Then you should fix that problem. Next, find out why your server returns a 302 redirect for a request for your home page. That is 'highly irregular' and is cause for concern.
