gimped

When a large system is brought down by a single lame part, that is constantly the source of repeated failure, the system is said to have been gimped. People always want to replace the gimp, but it cannot be replaced. Gimping can also be applied to team sports.

The whole server system was running fine until it was gimped by the xyz. AGAIN!
