Or maybe it was just a normal block, set on 13th November 2007, which now suddenly became active. Look for that block at Special:Log/block There were some changes to blocks in 1.18, maybe something that meant something different before (and for some reason hadn't been purged), now was interpreted as an infinite. Looking at the table row would be interesting.
