Thanks for the reply.

I did check the disk usage when this problem occurs ( had to reset the 
box even to do that as 'df' is hanging too). / is 80% occupied and the 
2G SD card is only 7% occupied.  So it doesn't look like a space issue - 
of course I'd have to be careful about it.

I've replaced the SD card with another one and the problem seems to be 
gone (for now).  If this is indeed a SD card issue, then the system is 
not very reliable in this regard: it's only been in use for a few weeks. 
And it's meant to be for month.
