Any kids in the house that might have played with the shutoff valve?
This turned out to be the source of our water heater thermostat
problems...

No, just me; plus I couldn't move the valve to increase the pressure, so
I'm pretty sure kids couldn't manage to turn it. However, my hands are
pretty weak, so I can't be too sure.

What puzzles me, is it happened so suddenly... no reduction over a
period of time, it just happened all at once.
