Actually, you're right, this can't have been a kernel hang. I wasn't the person who rebooted the server, so I made the mistake of assuming that "the server hung" meant exactly that. The admin got no response on the console and a "connection refused" via ssh, but the kernel was obviously alive enough to refuse that connection. My apologies for the bandwidth. Chad
