So did I. I've never seen more than one in a day, and one in six months is
(was?) the typical case. AFAIK, the FEN message has never been associated
with a glitch or crash. I suppose this is just from unattended ops on your
www server?  That is, it still is not reproducible on demand, right? Just
reproducible on a daily basis? Does it do that every day, or did it just
happen on Feb 22?

Are you doing any paging or swapping?
