Grah!
Stupidly tried to fiddle with my firewall via ssh. Needless to say I made a pig's ear of it and locked myself and everyone else out of the machine. What I hadn't counted on was the fact that I seemed to have irretrievably buggered the eth0 interface. The damn thing just would not come back up. So, goodbye three-figure uptime... :(
