just an FYI.

machine died again today.  heavy network load.  sending out 2 large mail 
lists, with lots of web traffic and a few quake servers running.  this is 
using the 1.20.2.10, which is the latest AFAIK.  No messages like the ones 
Adrey sent below appeared in the logs.  Did I mention this is an SMP 
server?  Would that make a difference?

Any help would be great.

thanx
