Funny, I've noticed this too with the area.gdbm  restarting the server 
fixes it for me.  this is on a 4SMP, redhat7.3, perl5.6.x, 1GB RAM.
Doesn't occur on all of our IC installations either....


I'm am running, at home, redhat 8.0, interchange 4.8.6, and apache 2.x 
and have expereinced no problems.....
