The system went down yesterday morning and again last night (I was called
in at about 2:30am).  I just had gotten around to posting about it yet.
We're working with DEC to try to find the cause.  So far, we haven't had
any luck.
 
The system seems to hang.  Hangs are the worst problems to try to diagnose.
If the system had crashed, we'd at least have a crash dump to analyze.
With a hang, there's not as much to go on.  We've narrowed the problem down
to a locking problem within the cluster, but that's all so far.

I don't believe so.
