Hi all

One of our clients is experiencing regular reboots of their server
on Sunday mornings. I think it happens when the weekly script is 
being run, which gunzips the daily logs, coalesces them into a weekly
log, and gzips the result.

Herte are the logs from one such reboot:

> > Aug 21 23:35:14 saturn syslogd: restart
> > Aug 21 23:35:14 saturn /kernel: panic: rlist_free: free start overlaps
> > already freed area
> > Aug 21 23:35:14 saturn /kernel:

The machine is a Compaq Pentium 166 with 64 Mb of RAM, which should 
be enough for this site (they are by no means the biggest server we
support). I first thought hardware may be the problem, but the machine
runs fine the rest of the week. The OS is FreeBSD 2.2.7 (upgrading the
OS is *not* an option at this stage).

I checked the GNATS database, and saw a report of this problem, but
there was no follow up. Any help will be appreciated.

TIA
