That's funny stuff!  Fortunately, that's not possible here.  The servers 
are all running off the same APC UPS (a big one).  As no other servers 
are exhibiting this behavior, I'm confidant that this problem is 
isolated to the one machine.

Good idea, though.  Troubleshooting question #1:  "Is it plugged in?" 
In this case, yes and securely.
