Lockdown in sector 4

While trying to login to Gmail I got a lockdown message, which is actually not yet to be documented [1] as far as I can see:

Our system indicates unusual usage of your account. In order to protect Gmail users from potentially harmful use of Gmail, this account has been disabled for up to 24 hours.

If you are using any third party software that interacts with your Gmail account, please disable it or adjust it so that its use complies with the Gmail Terms of Use. If you feel that you have been using your Gmail account according to the Terms of Use or otherwise normally, please contact us to report this problem.

It is only a guess but the \”unusal usage\” might be related with my Gmail atom feed tryouts [2]. Any ideas?
