Not a bad question, but no.  There have been no changes in the kernel
or OS for a little while now.  In fact I am hoping to have a chance to
do an update in about two weeks.

The system did reboot unexpectedly, though.  I wouldn't have expected
that to have an effect.  What do you think?

I tried a "controlled" restate just now via shutdown -r now.  After
giving the systema few minutes to talk to itself, it is still
reporting strangely high numbers.

Would it make sense to pkg_delete the Xymon daemon on the observed
host and reinstall it?  Or could that make things worse?

Thanks,
Jaime
