Spot on! That is exactly what is going on, my second ipa server just
died this morning, checked /proc/ out before I restarted, full of dead
links. Do they have a bugzilla open for your issue that I could attach
to? Or could you give me your case number so I can get RH support to
reference it and track it?

Thanks again,
