That definatly sounds like the exact thing.  Once your system would have
had to return to your shell and read the disk, it would not do so.

Oh wow!  Now, my problem does not occur even close to that often.  Of the
2 times this has happened, it was after 11 days the first time, then 18
days the second time.

That could be a definate lead to the root of our problem here.  Just last
night, after tring to restart my name server, I received this error
message:
Nov  9 03:02:40 ns named[297]: socket(SOCK_DGRAM): Too many open files - exiting


I had added a few domains in there, so I assumed that I screwed something
up.  But, that may be somthing similar to your error there.

Looks like we may be on the right track here!
