Hmm, not really an option.  8( I don't have the CVS repository here
(I'm stupid, I know 8( ), and I need to get this box to a state better
than it has been (960612-SNAP) before its regular user gets back and
needs it again.

FWIW, it's back to 8M from 16 on memory borrowed from another machine
and so far is tooling along OK.  I'm encouraged enough to go home
and let it be (with a kernel 3mo out of sync with userland, I can't
talk to it from home 8).

I don't know whether the lower memory configuration is affecting things 
or not, but you could go back to 8M and try 8) 8) 8)
