Not really. I thought maybe it was because of something changing in the parent process, but that doesn't seem possible. There was a long thread a little while back about turning swap off and on again to solve this. I've never tried that. I think restarting every 24 hours is a good idea anyway, because I've seen strange things happen now and then when a server is up for a long time. - Perrin
