NEWS_SERVER DELETED

[mcdonald at AEDC-VAX.AF.MIL]

Yesterday some type of error occurred on my 240GTX that caused the following:
(from /usr/adm/SYSLOG:)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mar 26 15:14:15 ccfiris savecore: reboot after panic: 
Mar 26 15:14:15 ccfiris PANIC: CPU 1: KERNEL FAULT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later I got the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mar 26 16:34:01 ccfiris unix: WARNING: Process [news_server] pid 1156 killed due
 to bad page read (errno:0)
Mar 26 16:34:01 ccfiris grcond[1146]: Child process /bin/news_server terminated 
by signal 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then my news_server would not come up due to its being deleted from /bin:
its ls -l listing was:
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     bin       614512 Nov 19 10:27 /bin/news_server*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mar 26 17:44:06 ccfiris grcond[224]: exec of /bin/news_server failed: No such fi
le or directory
Mar 26 17:44:07 ccfiris grcond[213]: Child process /bin/news_server exited with 
status 1
Mar 26 17:44:23 ccfiris grcond[231]: exec of /bin/news_server failed: No such fi

Mar 26 17:44:23 ccfiris grcond[225]: Child process /bin/news_server exited with

Mar 27 07:21:41 ccfiris grcond[855]: exec of /bin/news_server failed: No such fi
le or directory
Mar 27 07:21:41 ccfiris grcond[232]: Child process /bin/news_server exited with 
status 1
Mar 27 07:43:56 ccfiris grcond[1032]: Child process /bin/news_server terminated 
by signal 15
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My questions are:
  1. Has anyone else ever ran into the above problem where /bin/news_server
     gets deleted?
  2. What could have caused /bin/news_server to get deleted in the first place?
