Check out if this is an issue with OSS. At my office, some guys had faced similar problem (not same tough). The OSS liscense has expired and such irregular volume hikes started occuring. At boot time, OSS used to print out a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg message (that too character by character!!!) informing that liscense is expired and that is why such behavior will be seem. In order to stop this, liscense should be renewed!! :-O Well, what can be said, a very "funny" way to persuade people to get liscensed copies!!! I'm not sure that this is the problem in your case though. Just felt it might help.
