Unfortunately, and very strange, syslog was down since midnight, and he didn't bother to go up (and we haven't noticed). But I remember something about a named error. Nothing very obvious, I'm sorry. Was Friday 13th today? :-(
But as I said, no process looked funny to me, I have double-checked this. A couple of pine's (this was what we usually do on that machine), and the usual stuff. Nothing to look like a time-consuming thing.
I'm still digging. Mihai
