Adrian, are you running nscd per chance? We have noticed on many of our 
clients and servers that the nscd process tends to go haywire from time 
to time and cause all sort of problems, including the one you mention. 
The tell-tale would be nscd using 100% CPU on your grid01 machine. 
Perhaps not your case, but worth checking.

cheers,
Gianfranco
