Yes, that is certainly possible. I've got some mod_perl kids that could
potentially flare up when the site gets busy. I don't think that explains
the one at 3:30 in the morning though, but I've reduced the number of kids
and I'll see if that helps. So far, no more occurances since 16:15 EST.

Thanks,
