So a simple newfs and restore operation solved your problem? For sure I'll
try the same here now.

Now that I think about it, the machine also tended to run rock-solid ever
since I put it together in April 2001. The problems only started to occur
when I changed the HD in December. WHile the new disk seems to be ok
according to Western Digital's WDDIAG, I guess newfs'ing it and restoring
the data to it surely cannot hurt...
