This may be related to a strange spontaneous rebooting that is going on. For example, last night I set the date/time using 'date -u' to the correct UTC time. It set correctly. This morning, when I arrived at the computer at ~7:55 AM PDT, it appeared to have restarted just a few minutes earlier. It also now showed the time as about 00:33 PDT. The CMOS time remained stable and is still set to UTC. It isn't cleaning up lockfiles from the previous session, and so has a little difficulty on the new startup. I haven't any cron scripts running (that I'm aware of) that would do this. Just built the entire system a couple days ago. Running FreeBSD 4.6. Have installed Apache mod_ssl (current), mod_php (current), postgresql (current). Running on a dual AMD TYAN S2462 board. New RAM, power supply, everything. Any thoughts where to begin looking to find the culprit?
