I was wrong, it just happened again.

Suddenly there was no network response from the server.
I went straight to the server room, and typed in "root" at the login
prompt. This seemed to have normal response, the letters "root" appeared
immedeately. Then I hit enter..

Now, 10min later..  still waiting for a password prompt.
Both disks are working overtime.
I disconnected the network plug right after attempting to login.

Going to wait a little while more for the OOM killer to do it's magic
and maybe give me a clue as to what went wrong this time.
Unfortunately the computer has 2.5gb swap =(
