This issue has occurred every few months whenever we update to a more recent -stable. I haven't seen any recent changes to aac in the last few months; this last upgrade was purely compulsory. This is the first time I can recall where it has hung up 3 nights in a row now after the upgrade, usually its just 2. It seems that it hung up last night about 3am or possibly earlier, judging based on when remote network connections started timing out. I'm guessing it was tickled by the nightly periodic find scripts. Thanks.
