Yesterday and today (within minutes after midnight) my 5.2.1 server locked 
up... meaning that I cannot SSH into it, or ping it, etc, but it is still 
running. This has never happened before in the past 1.5 years, and I cannot 
think of any changes made (other than web page edits) that have taken place in 
the past few days. The only other exception might have been a 1 or 2 
portupgrades, but I don't think there were any that day. Further, there is very 
little in the logs that seems to help me in any way.

For yesterday's lockup, /var/log/messages had these few entries right about the 
time it happened:

Jul 19 00:01:17 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
Jul 19 00:01:24 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
Jul 19 00:07:38 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count


Jul 19 21:45:31 (syslog entry) is the last entry before this last lockup

I did, however, get a cron job email at midnight:

Jul 20 00:00:01 -       newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 666: No such process
                                newsyslog: log /var/log/maillog.0 not 
compressed because daemon(s) not notified


I did find a ruby18.core file in my root directory, and now notice that things 
like portupgrade, portsdb, and pkg_version spew a bunch of errors (they depend 
on ruby?) So I visit /usr/ports/lang/ruby18 to re-install the port, and I get:

Well, I'm stuck ...

Thanks,
Chris
