Ok, yes you do have a bit more headroom than me, I've only got 512Mb in my
backend which is cutting it fine a bit, still its been ok for 6 months so
this is definitely something that has happened in the last week.
My mythbackend rarely crashes, the box just slows down to a crawl and pages
furiously, it often takes 3 or 4 minutes to ssh in and shut her down and
because it usually happens while the wife is standing over my shoulder
tapping her foot I haven't really had a chance to snoop around while its
doing it to diagnose any further.
I'll order some more RAM for a start which I've been meaning to do for ages
and hopefully that may reduce the swapping somewhat and give it a bit more
breathing space. I might also cron a daily reboot.

Cheers
Toby
