Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I've seen this before, although not recently, and it has been reported
on this list by at least Russell Coker and Tom London.  Seems to be
difficult to reproduce reliably.  I don't know if there is a bugzilla on
it.  Rik Faith, who wrote the audit framework, thought it looked similar
to an earlier bug in the audit code that he had fixed.  I think Peter is
presently maintaining the code, cc'd.

What kernel are you running?
