hmm... I may have spoken too fast. Last evening, the server was again
down, in a seemingly worse state than without the patch. Alas, System.map
wasn't here, and I quickly lost all my working terminals to this machine,
so I have no clue about what was going wrong (I updated my kernel building
scripts, of course).
One user told me however that he thinks he may have been over quota -- but
he was filling his directory via Samba, so obviously quota-related
messages didn't make it to his desk.

I'll try to stress the machine this noon (CEST) to get better clues.
