Post the results of 'df -h'. My first guess is that you're running low on disk space (in / or in /var if /var is a separate partition) and when it's compressing some big log file (apache maybe), it the temp files run out. Having said that, there is one guy I've talked to online who has a problem similar to yours. In his case, he has a parallel port zip drive and I am working to find out what exactly would be his problem. It may wind down to him going into /etc/cron.weekly and running everything in there until something fubars. That might not be a bad idea in your case as well. Blue skies...
