Further to my first message, I have noted the following: 1) During both crashes, mrtg left behind a lock file which I later removed manually. 2) The errors which I listed in my first message occurred in 'rateup' and 'perl' - both processes used by mrtg. I also noticed that the PID reported in the crash today matched the pid portion of the filename of the lock file. 3) There was recently a minor version change in the ports which I applied to mrtg by means of portupgrade. I don't recall the exact date unfortunately. So - for the moment mrtg is my prime suspect. Has anyone else also running mrtg also recently experienced stability problems? Thank you.
