Wish I could add more to this since I have seen this odd reboot.  I have since
switched to a Raq4 so I never completed the investigation.  I remember
installing the glib update <?> whichever one it was.  Top then constantly
showed .10, .09, .12.  I thought this was weird since I usually have 0's
across the board but I *chalked* it up to all the memory leakage comments.
Anyways, after a reboot (weeks later) I noticed running top showed 0's across
the board again and thought everything was back to normal.  Unfortunately,
every 12 days or so, logcheck e-mailed the 'ole reboot log.  I scoured
EVERYTHING, ran chkrootkit- never found a single hint.  The box had NOT been
compromised.  Sorry I can't help further...
