I don't know if the problem was related to /var full since i was under X and the machine was completely frozen. It responded to ping and nothing else. The only solution was to press the reset button, and i had to do manual fsck after that because the machine panicked doing the background fsck. Very nasty bug (hence i did not investigate it further ...). -- Michel TALON
