I was using an old revision of the lenny kernel[linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 2.6.26-4], but have since upgraded to the latest (lenny) version. Perhaps that was it. Another potential data point, fetchmail was running and went to sleep for 120 seconds at 11:58:00 UTC. "X being flakey" was more to imply that I know the difference between X freezing and the system crashing. X has never frozen on this hardware though it does occasionally restart itself when I switch vts[I wasn't switching vts at the time]. I couldn't ssh in and the Num Lock LED wouldn't toggle[my standard as to whether the keyboard is alive]. The monitor stayed in its last state and the last half-second of the audio of the video I was watching looped continuously.
