// Take a look and see if you have the same thing in both /etc/crontabs
// and /var/cron/tabs/root -- if both are calling /etc/daily /etc/weekly
// and /etc/monthly -- you may have the same problem that caused my
// freeing free vnode problem.
// 
// Remove 'em from one of the crontab files and all gets better.

Uh ?  Both /var/cron/tabs/* and /etc/crontabs are executed ?!?  Is this
a new feature ?

I'll try that.  Thanks a lot.

BTW: This is a workaround, not a solution, right ?  Running 2 copies
of the same program should never crash a stable system...

// (should this be in a FAQ?)

P'p'p'p'p'p'please....   >=^)
