The presence of a problem became evident when when I was unable to log into the machine Monday morning, neither from
a console or through ssh on the LAN. At the console it puts up
a login prompt and accepts the name entry but that is all --
no password prompt and no further activity. I've had to reboot
the machine with a brutal physical reset.
Your description sounds somewhat like the machine ran out of virtual memory, or possibly some other critical resource like process table slots. Run top continuously for a few days and see what you see, or consider fancier monitoring capabilities from ports.
