At approximately 0641Z this re-occurred. It's not a run of the mill
memory exhaustion problem. The server was power cycled and I will
be keeping a close eye on it through today. I have slight
suspicions of a hardware problem, and if this seems more likely then
I'll be performing a hardware swap later today.
Apologies again for the disruption.
Cheers,
Andy
