I would agree with you, that is the impression I get as well, but the
little monitoring I've applied as well as the fact that I have three
very different hosts right here all exhibiting analogous but distinct
failures makes me think of time/performance related crashes.

On the other hand, cinap may be onto something: if we have a floating
point failure followed by a timer signal, all hell is perfectly
entitled to break loose.  But floating point isn't always involved.

We'll get to the bottom of this, eventually, we just need as many
informative data points as possible.
