The Horrible Exception

Social network Tribe has been having trying times. The owner peeved off the lone IT guy, who quit, and it's been down quite a bit ever since. Tonight I tried to log in and got an error message from the server that I've never seen before...

Horrible Exception:
org.apache.turbine.util.security.TurbineSecurityException:
Unable to update the security system

I've never seen a "horrible exception" before. It doesn't sound good.

I still remember an error message I saw on an Alpha Micro computer in the seventies:

It is a definite no-no to run BITMAP as a user command. Your nose will grow, your lawn will die, your hair will fall out, and your first-born will marry an aardvark. Shame on you!

Oh, those crazy programmers.
