  There was a file in /vicepa/0/1/28.  It was binary data, or junk.. not sure 
which.
  I couldn't get the server to restart after moving it.
  I reinitialized everything, and restored the partition from a backups.

  I had heard rumors of file corruption under linux 2.4.0-test11, which as I 
think about it, I was running at the time the server started to be antisocial.
  I'll watch the logs more closely to see if this happens again, but at the 
moment, I'm chalking it up to a corrupted file.
  I do have the log files leading up to this, would you like me to go through 
them for anything?

thanks,
crh
