the specific page i was after was

    http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?xfunc-plhandler.html

so apparently <docroot>/index.php called (either directly or
through other modules) opendb.php which is where the trouble
arose.

no big deal for me -- i had more serious issues trying to get my
own server re-started after adding another hard drive with bad
parameters (which locked everything up so bad i quite nearly had
a nervous breakdown. thank goodness i thought to try
clarkconnect's rescue_ide boot on their install cd. everything
came back up after a few fsck's and a revisit to the autodetect
in bios... whew! very nearly had to call the men in white coats!)
