Hmmm, ok.

Ok. I'm glad, in a way, that I'm not the only one seeing
this.

The really weird thing though is that since reporting the problem,
it hasn't re-occured. If it occurs again, I'll mail the results of
the gdb -core /var/crash/blah, a trace and then try reducing the
number of maxusers.

This is the longest uptime I've had in almost two weeks - 14 hours.
Here's hoping :)

If the problem re-occurs, I'll do so :)
