Services that don't need to write to syslog seem to work. I had a
user-land session open at the time, but couldn't su or sudo to kill off
syslog. System logging _stopped_ while the machine was out. Nothing of
interest in the logs around that time. Does this on two machines.
System only comes back when I reset/power cycle.
For some reason, a couple of the other machines here didn't have the same
problem, and none of the offsite machines seem to have died on me.
Most oddly of all, was a Cisco 801 croaking, and going down to one
channel, repeatedly telling the syslog server it was connected to another
plant. A power cycle fixed that though.
