I had a similar thing happen yesterday with a mix of rc8 and rc7 
fileservers (on solaris 10 sparc.)  I had to pkill -9 the fileserver 
process on our main server to get the entire cell back up.  I figured it 
was a problem that was fixed in rc8 so I did not bother to report the 
issue at the time nor do I have rxdebug traces.  I will be more diligent 
in the future.

Could this possibly be caused by the daylight saving time change over 
the weekend?
