What did you do about the cron job? cancel it and run it manually? How did you figure out it was the cron job?

I don't have anything else right now, if it does it again I will though. We had a power outage here last week, could that have affected my file system enough to cause this? is there some kind of scandisk utility to fix stuff besides the integrity check on boot?

I had the same problem awhile ago with a RH 9 box. The cron job that updates the locate db would crash the machine. I had to run fsck about 3 times to get the filesystem in proper working order. I thought the HD was dying and ordered new ones... Now I have new hardrives sitting on my desk.;) Anyway I'd guess it is that as well. So reboot into single user mode, run fsck on all partitions. Reboot.
