All I meant was that 2.2.5 was in use on quite a few of my servers, and I
felt comfortable with it's robustness and reliability.  However, my
webserver sees more load than any other server I have, so I don't see any
way I could've predicted a failure.

(The only other server I have that gets hammered on is my newsserver, but
I upgraded it to 3.0 some time ago to get around the FS corruption problem
that seemed to be plaguing it, me, and a few other users).
