There was an update available for it - has been for a while - so I went ahead and updated it, but the problem persists... I also tried updating the kernel (there's been an update available for it for a while too) and rebooted, but again, the problem remains... Everything else on this server seems fine (mail, web)... Is the domain controller actually doing something it shouldn't? It seems to be fine, nothing unusual in the logs for it... Besides - it is just way too suspicious that this started exactly at 3:00pm, and immediately following the hourly cron job...
