The system runs well for hours, and locks up, in the middle of the 
night, when the only thing going on would be comm-flagging.
I was under the impression that when a system is in fact using 127.0.0.1 
to talk to 127.0.0.1, then the socket is aliased into file space and IP 
is bypassed. ( I might be thinking about how mysql works and not other 
more usual IP stuff..)

The NIC is a fairly new standalone card. It could be bad. But when the 
internal NIC went, it was instant and total
