[Dxspider-support] Weird node issue that prevents user logins

[Brendan Minish]

Well the issue continues. 

firstly the 'stuck' cp processes issue I reported a few days ago were
down to a an error with a cron job that has now been rectified and have
no bearing on the underlying issue 

However the node EI7SDX still hangs, preventing user logins and freezing
existing connections.

the perl process is still running, is not consuming excessive resources,
just not doing any network I/O and will not process connections, even
the local console   

The time that the error occurs does not coincide with any scheduled cron
job, any activity at all on the web server or any issues logged in the
main system log  or in /var/log/secure (which I was tailing) 

I have some debugging turned on and managed to capture the following
just as it froze.

The base machine configuration is nearly identical to the setup I am
running with no issues at EI7MRE  


Any ideas? this is getting a tad tiresome ;-)
