Could you please send us the ksymoops output of such an
event? That would give us some more detail to work with...

How much of that swap is actually used? If there's a
memory leak somewhere (the firewall package eg.) and
it fills up the memory in a certain time things might
go wrong.
OTOH, I have heard some rumours of more memory leaks
being fixed in kernel 2.0.36.

??? Most recent version of what? Kernel 2.0.34 is certainly
not the most recent one... The TIS firewall is not something
we know of...
Linux is not a company, so there's not really a 'we' and
certainly no 'our ftp site' :)
