hey everyone,

I installed 5.0-RELEASE shortly after it came out, no
problems since.
But today, I try to log on via sshd, and it turns out
it died. I connected
a console and got the following messages:

---- snip quite a lot ----

---- snip ----

These all came on the console, syslogd had stopped.
Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting these?
Any help will be appreciated.
