Thanks, Paul for this info. What I was seeing is the size of the /var
slice going up and up and I narrowed on this file. So could that also be
the reason I get the message " /kernel: proc: table is full" or this is
being caused by something else? All these issues are coming to me after
the recent cvsup....

Thanks for ALL your help, man..
