Hmmm. Harmless? One thing this does is to stop ftp logins and su's to
root. Having run 2.2.2 for several months I decided to change to 2.2.5
yesterday. I had the junk pointer error a few times in 2.2.2 but they
stopped. Now it's restarted again. Any idea what actually causes it and
is there an easy way or even a hard way of getting rid of it?

Thanks,
