OK, I know I will get slapped for providing such little information (to 
start), but this morning I had a bit of fun with upgrading a Oct19 kernel 
to a Dec31st kernel. Getting rid of

#options         DUMMYNET
#options         IPDIVERT                #divert sockets
# Disk quotas are supported when this option is enabled.
#options        QUOTA                   #enable disk quotas

allowed me to have the machine function in a normal state.  The problem 
state was that I was unable to login to the system in multi user mode. 
There *seemed* to be a lot of processes blocking on something.  I dont know 
what as I was unable to login.  I thought at first it was that syslog 
problem with /dev/console, but I rebooted with syslogd off and I was able 
to get to a login prompt briefly.  After that the system became unstable 
with too many files open I had to reboot.

I am posting this in case anyone else has seen something similar.

dmesg below. Kernel config is basically GENERIC with uneeded device drivers 
removed. MAXUSERS is set at 256.

As the box is production, I cant fiddle with it right now, but I can come 
back in during off hours and do whatever would be useful to try and track 
this down.  I do have another box with quotas enabled, but its nowhere 
nearly as busy, particularly as I tried to bring up quota support on my 
mail partition which is fairly busy. (mount with soft updates 
enabled).  Anyone see anything similar ?
