Well if you ask the VServer guys, they'll say that version is not
stable, and I got this kind of issue on another box I maintain (very
simple, with a single vm).  There must be a few corner cases :/
Fortunately it's rare enough.

I think the network part is stable in petzi, now that vservers are not
fiddling with the firewall anymore.  We'll see :)

Same here, upgrading everybody is usually done across the better part
of the year.
