Apologies for the slow reply - it's the main office server so frequently 
everyone is using it...!

Just stuck in a new kernel right now and so far it's holding up!  Given 
it a bit of provoking by compiling a kernel and rebooting some vservers 
and no glitches so far

So I think you have done it!!  Thanks!


Just note for anyone else using gentoo hardened - Daniel hasn't replied 
yet, but it appears that you need a fairly recent util-vserver to work 
with these kernels, but the most recent util-vserver and also dietc-lib 
appear to need to be compiled with a *non hardened gcc*.  There is a 
remote possibility this is actually a bug in util-vserver...?  Not 
really qualified to offer a deeper opinion than that though...  (Daniel 
- if you didn't see my previous email - any chance you might consider 
looking into it a little?)

Thanks all!
