Thanks for the suggestion, but no, it was something else. What else it was, I don't know. I took the plunge and did the "when in doubt, upgrade" route -- the server is now:
Apache/1.3.22 -- AuthMySQL/2.30 -- PHP/4.0.6 -- mod_ssl/2.8.5 -- OpenSSL/0.9.6b Now, 24 hr. of straight work upgrading, the problem has gone away. I don't know which of these programs had which bug, but I did nothing other than upgrade, albeit a 24-hr task due to the AuthMySQL issues. Which now prompts the question, perhaps delusional from lack of sleep, if hardly anyone is using mod_auth_mysql, as seems to be the case, what is everyone using to authenticate access? -- especially for larger sites (I have 70K+ pages).
