I declare you the god of elaborate bug reports, since i have been around,
but this was by far the best description of problems and possible solutions
i have ever seen !!!

i am currently running without logging, but i will try to duplicate your
config step by step, since i have 2 machines, and if one of them fails, the
other will take over in a matter of seconds.

i don't believe it an smp or 2 tux threads, or >1GH  issue, since this is
the config i have, also i don't think that the problem is changing files in
userspace, since my servers are frequently updated, and tux runs 24/7
serving content.

i will report my findings ...

and more reports of success/failure will be apriciated, if possible, in the
format of Matthew Hodgsons example !
