Tried that. No processes died or left any traces in my logs.

What I did get was more consistent [bad] behavior, at least for today.

It seems that any time my windows machine calls a method on my hosted 
suse9 64 bit machine, _and_ I return a large return value from that 
method, the conversation somehow gets "stuck". Large might be an array 
of 8000 lines of text from a file.

I watched the conversation with wireshark and I saw that on one of my 
failures, right before everything hung, there were 15 tcp dup acks.

That's all I've got so far. Any more help?
