trying to answer both emails:

This is a system with, at the point this occurred, no external connections.
The file is restored on boot to a temp location and then moved to the right
place on completion of the restore. This happens as root. Then programs on
the same system can connect which run as a non-root user.

I didn't have time to take detail when it happened, so I now trying to
replicate it. Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received
