[ale] tripwire is " trippin' "

[Jonathan Glass (IBB)]

I had similar symptoms on a machine w/a failing hdd.  Have you checked
/var/log/messages?  See any HDD errors?

I removed tripwire. 3 hours later, my box hung AGAIN.
I was able to Crtl-Alt-F2, but not login. 
I was unable to ssh into the box.
The box froze, and had to be restarted. 

How do I go about discovering what program is causing this?
I am not used to upgraded 7.2 acting this badly. Should I reinstall?
