The admin's computer was on a UPS, and the 2 servers were on surge suppressors. There was a power-related problem, and it kept "flickering" - turning off and back on rapidly. Well, the 2 servers stayed up just fine, and the admin's workstation kept turning off. It was, of course, a faulty UPS, but still, it kind of makes you think. :-) (Eventually, the power went out long enough for the servers to go down, but, the servers being netware and all, they had no problem.)
