You got it in one!

Sorry folks, I'm wiping egg off my face here.  There was another
script running (perl) as root that depended on the port redirection
and it was doing a kill -HUP $pid when it lost it's tcp connection.
Unfortunately, $pid was gotten from a wait() and I wasn't checking
the return value..

We still have a problem with the same host rebooting at random,
but I can't recreate this on the test bench though, so It's probably
just co-incident with a hardware problem.

Thanks for the help.

ciao
