I will, the next time I experience the issue.

I had already rebooted the box, which immediately alleviated the
issue. I can only presume, at this point, that it seems to have been
related to the 2gb of allocated/active memory shown by top. I had no
memory intensive apps running, merely an idle lighttpd, mysqld, and
rtorrent (which only occupied about 90mb).

Thanks,

Andrew
