The machine hasn't been updated via dselect attall(ever!) and the kernel
definatly hasn't been updated.
I got a scrace.log but I don't understand it :-) The end is here...
fcntl(7, F_SETLKW, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0
read(7, "", 384) = 0
fcntl(7, F_SETLKW, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {SIG_DFL}, NULL, 8) = 0
alarm(0) = 1
close(7) = 0
open("/proc/loadavg", O_RDONLY) = 7
lseek(7, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(7, "0.00 0.05 0.04 2/44 618\n", 1023) = 24
write(1, "\33[H\33[2J\33[H\33[1m 6:43pm up 43 mi"..., 79) = 79
open("/proc", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|0x10000) = 8
fstat(8, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
fcntl(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0

Thanks for your help.
