OK....
PHP version: 4.06
MySQL version: 3.23.37
The webserver hadn't been restarted after the last table repair.
1) crashed again
2) I repaired all the tables this morning with myisamchk -r
3) webserver and mysql server restarted by admins
4) Boards seemd stable
5) ran myisamchk -e on all tables, all was ok
6) couldn't get into mysql with mysql server stopped in order to run optimize, so I ran myisamchk --sort-index instead
7) restarted mysql server, my fingers are crossed. Boards seem stable and fast as hell.

Profuse thanks for all your time,
Max
