Kurt, thanks for the prompt reply. This is a server that has been running continually since last July. This problem started abruptly some time since the new year. I roll my own kernels, and I am seeing the build date for my last kernel (where I moved from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18) is 6 Jan 2007, which seems way more then coincidental. So I am voting for a kernel problem. Would you like to reassign this to kernel 2.6.18? I am using the latest and greatest standard Debian kernel source from testing. (On a old thinkpad 600e, if hardware is important information here.) Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
