If you don't want to spend time diagnosing the problem, and you don't want to turn to the Linux Community on the net for help, perhaps you should just purchase Red Hat 6, which comes with phenomenal technical support. Guess what version of Linux I have. Besides, what could they tell me over the phone? My point was that all the starry-eyed Linux apostles(as opposed to normal Linux users) spout garbage about Linux being this bullet-proof, fool-proof, next-to-God OS, and it isn't. I had a burp in my file system for some reason. It appears to have trashed the /var/log hierarchy so it's no big deal. Everything's in lost+found and I just have to move it back to where it was and see if any trace of the cause is in any of the log files. It's running on an old junk 486-75 so it could easily be a piece of flaky hardware.
