Wow, Jeremy, thanks for the quick response.

It's a fairly important server, for us at least, so it's hard
to justify installing a release as a test unless the issue is
serious, which this isn't really.  So I'll probably wait until
3.0.23b (which seems like it could be more solid than 3.0.23
and 3.0.23a), but I will keep an eye out for this problem and
whether 3.0.23b fixes it when I install that.
