Ok, thanks, I will check into the server logs when I get to the office.
I will also try the patch.

Yes, any syslog messages from sshd (probably in authlog, but that will 
depend on the settings of SyslogFacility and your syslog.conf).

Check if there are extra "sshd [pam]" processes running, you might be 
running out of resources.  (This is because sshd 3.8p1 and 3.8.1p1 fail 
to clean up the PAM child process under some conditions).  If so, please 
try the attached patch.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
