We've been tracking 7-stable since the system was installed about half a 
year ago.  This issue has occurred every few months whenever we update 
to a more recent -stable.  I haven't seen any recent changes to aac in 
the last few months; this last upgrade was purely compulsory.  This is 
the first time I can recall where it has hung up 3 nights in a row now 
after the upgrade, usually its just 2.  It seems that it hung up last 
night about 3am or possibly earlier, judging based on when remote 
network connections started timing out.  I'm guessing it was tickled by 
the nightly periodic find scripts.  Thanks.
