Hi Dag,

I believe you maybe correct with nsrmmd, there are no core dumps as I think
the server freezes before they can be written out.

It appears to crash when the server is under load. I do full backups over
friday, saturday and sunday nights.

It had two kernel panic's on saturday, one at 7:00pm & another at 10:00pm
after getting everything going again. And it has been going fine since.

I have ordered another 8Gb of memory for the server, I hope this will help,
but at this stage I am not confident.
