It's running a web server for some stuff that's pretty low-traffic (10
hits per minute).

Unfortunately not; it happens largely at random.

I'll get some logging put in so I can get a better idea of how often
this happens, then do an strace based on that information (else the
strace will be huge).

Would it be OK to attach to the existing process, or do I have to restart it?
