This happened to me too (SR10.1p). I think it was most of /bsd4.3/usr/bin.
Our 10000 originally came preloaded, but has since been invol'ed and reloaded
off tape. I mention that because I asked the local Apollo engineer to check
his 10000 which he found was ok. I presume his came preloaded too.

Unless 'df' is lying to me ('du' does!), each process only?! grabs 500k 
(SR10.1p) - same as for the m68k machines. That is, as a minimum.
