Not really. As I said, I suppose the machine on which the services are 
running (which also is our main hub server) was probably under attack - 
just like yesterday, *sigh*.
The whole network froze and other servers (including mine) splitted, and 
when we came back there was no sign of services, just that core file. I 
didn't find anything strange in the logs either.
I didn't check the cpu load when I logged onto the machine, but I've 
heard of some attacks that manage to rise the load to  100%. Could that 
be the case?
