(Get the code!)
New server crash this morning. Two KVM guests running, but I was just running a small perl script which reads in an 8109 byte xml file, changes a couple of values via XML::Twig, and prints it to stdout. After rebooting, the same script ran just fine.
I DID get a vmstat picture of things, and the last output of top:

Write failed: Broken pipe
Note that this machine has 8GB of ram in a 4x 2gb configuration. I will remove 2 sticks of RAM later today and see if that eliminates the crash. A friend has warned that he has seen random freezes in machines with fully populated RAM banks. I will be contacting the vendor, Biostar, to see if there are known issues with this RAM and this motherboard, or with fully populated RAM banks.
