server unresponsive after several days

[cleger at scs.carleton.ca]

Thanks for all suggestions. 

I will see if I can upgrade the OS relatively shortly, and will report any
observed changes. 

The problems have been there since I first installed the OS. I will try to find
out if more recent firmware is available. 

Thanks, 

Christian Leger
