Thanks for the suggestion!
I just did so and rebooted both machines, so we'll see.
I remember unseting debug.mpsafenet before 5.4 due to some ipfw
limitations, but didn't know about the other two.

Both machines are not much loaded, so I could afford slowing them down a
bit for a while (I hope it won't be several times slower). I will do
that at some point later if the problem still persists.
I hope I won't be forced to downgrade to 5.4, though I'm already working
on that (just in case).
