I have a guess here as to what the real problem is.

1.0.99.2 can cause loncnew to start spewing into lonc_errors and fill
the harddrive.

do a df on /home

If it is full, stop loncapa the rough way

killall -9 loncnew
killall -9 lond

remove the lonc_errors file 

rm /home/httpd/perl/logs/lonc_errors

check that you have space now

df /home

and restart the daemons (I will suggest using the oriinal lonc for now
in 1.0.99.2)

/etc/init.d/loncontrol stop
/etc/init.d/loncontrol startold
