Things are not looking good.  The server locked up again shortly after
the reboot.  I did get some kind of error message trying to access the
wiki about the MySQL server.

So after another reboot, I've (for now) shut down Apache.  I've got a
full database dump copied off of the system, so that's good.

I've been trying to get the XML dump going, because that'll be easier
to import into the new server, however I'm getting a not-very-helpful
error message that it can't connect to the database, but it doesn't
say why.

More news as it happens.
