All the output was in the same scale and during a hang in an other shell.

Not that I know. But I gave up :-)

Alas, one of the vm's is our production database. My next update/reboot window is next saturday. But I had the problem just before the last reboot (halfway january).
But hadn't closely monitored it afterwards.
Before - in december - I never experienced it. But it's a server I tend do leave alone, so I'm never very busy on a shell.
