[Labs-l] Disable catfoot and catscan2

So again, for catscan2, which resources? Memory? DB connections? http
connections? I can see how catscan2 might be heavy, but catfood is rather
light-weight, and I really can't see how it could eat up http connections.

Is it possible that whatever caused PHP to melt down last time is really a
PHP issue, processes running forever or something like that? These tools
have been up for months, presumably got the same traffic (forwarded from
toolserver) and didn't show any such issues. That the two of them should
suddenly start killing the server seems somewhat suspicious to me.

Cheers,
Magnus
