We are on Redhat 8.x and IC 4.8.x.  Our site has been up for 3.5 years
on this same hardware and have really only had 2 raid drives go out the
entire time it's been up.  We started using mod_interchange about a year
ago and the site has been solid, up until about 1 week ago when this
behavior started.

The only common thread I have seen so far is:

Apache 1.3.x, mod_interchange 1.32 and 1.33, Perl 5.6.x, and RPC traffic
mode.  

We've verified it happens in virtual servers, different flavors of
Redhat, different major versions of Interchange and different major
versions of Mysql.

Thanks,
