I could, probably, but the applications are generally well-behaved, and it's
not a recurring problem. I hope. I'm more interested in the cause, atm.

Well, yes, but as far as we're aware nothing new has been deployed - this
setup is several years old. I suppose it's possible that one of those kind

we're running Drupal and Wordpress, I'd be surprised at something like that
remaining unnoticed for so long.
