Not very specific but this is what one article reports:

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/12/01/1070127318372.html

"Troup said that on November 20, it had been noticed that the kernel on
a server called master, which hosts the project's bug tracking system,
was doing an oops - something which occurs when the kernel code gets
into an unrecoverable state.

He said suspicions were aroused when the server named murphy, which
hosts the mailing lists, started showing the same error."

Does anyone recommend any particular detection service? I've had tiger
running on my machine, but I've turned it off because its always
complaining about famd and java (tnameserv) running - but I must admit I
haven't really looked into it.
