Smells like an 'lcmd' to me.  You might want to check who
was logged in at the time, and any 'cron' jobs that may have
triggered at that odd time.

I can't remember what the console log shows if you control-C
the lsv process while it's running from the command line.

On most Unix systems, an appropriate line in /etc/inittab will
cause Listserv to automatically restart if it terminates.  Of
course, the problem there is it can stop, restart, and you never
even notice unless you do some ad-crock modifications to go.user ;)
