Hi

We have a number of Debian woody servers, mostly Intel kit. One of our P4 boxen decided to reboot itself twice over the weekend. last -x:

runlevel (to lvl 2)   2.4.20           Sat Jun 12 08:04 - 10:12 (1+02:07)
reboot   system boot  2.4.20           Sat Jun 12 08:04         (1+02:07)
shutdown system down  2.4.20           Sat Jun 12 07:50 - 10:12 (1+02:22)
runlevel (to lvl 6)   2.4.20           Sat Jun 12 07:49 - 07:50  (00:00)

No previous logins within hours of this. syslog shows eth0 ran out of resources, followed by a regular cronjob (very memory intensive), followed by out of memory errors, then a switch to runlevel 6.

Kernel may have bugs, but its been running otherwise fine for months. I wonder what may cause the kernel to switch to level 6 without user intervention?

Thanks
