Subject: Disappearing guests

Hi, although I haven't updated anything of significance for a bit, I'm 
suddenly *noticing* a problem recently where the vserver-stat is loosing 
the name of a specific guest:

vserver-stat shows:

CTX   PROC    VSZ    RSS  userTIME   sysTIME    UPTIME NAME
1010     4  98.8M   4.3M   0m00s93   0m00s45  57m44s71 log1
1011     9 127.2M  15.8M   0m00s57   0m00s61  57m44s69 dnscache
1471    29 473.6M  67.1M   3m51s60   0m13s29  57m44s73 mysql1
2441    14 308.3M  41.4M   0m01s48   0m00s60  57m44s67 mysql2
2465     5 152.2M   6.1M   0m45s74   0m12s86  57m44s59
2470     9  43.6M  15.3M   0m02s57   0m00s67  57m44s73 xpm1

The context 2465 is named "proxy1" and when I first start the machine it 
was visible.  Not quite sure what triggered it to disappear?

Previously the machine was up for at least 28 days and I'm reasonably 
sure only yesterday I could see the context correctly named.  I 
restarted the machine this morning because I could no longer start/stop 
the machine using the vserver script (since it's name had suddenly 
disappeared) and as you can see it's disappeared after less than an hour 
after reboot?

util-vserver-0.30.216_pre2921
kernel 2.6.32.22-grsec2.2.0-vs2.3.0.36.29.6

Can anyone shine some insight on what might be happening here please?  
Also a tip on how to restart the context using only it context number 
would also be helpful?

Thanks

Ed W
