And it did, for about 10 months :).

I guess something else happened during the upgrade process that corrupted the environment on all three systems. I can't think of what that might be; but the problem happening right after the upgrade seems too coincidental. I did not upgrade bdb, but I did upgrade a handful of other packages and the kernel. I'm not sure how those would have caused a problem, just one of those mysteries of life I hope won't happen again 8-/. Thanks again for the feedback... -- Paul B.
