There was a kernel upgrade but that was over three months ago. I have
tried to replicate the situation (it went down both times when I was
creating a tar.bz2) without luck.

I'm thinking of installing an snmpd and then perhaps cacti or similar on
 another system to poll and keep histories of various data. That's a
good idea.
