As for dbus or related processes crashing and causing fits, I don't know the precise cause, but I suspect an attempted save via sftp or fish on a dbus based app that sent my server into a tailspin (note, the offending connection was from openSuSE 11.2 not Arch). See the 'Nov 17 03:28:04' entries below:
