   I seemed to have a run-away /etc/init on my lone dn3500 (using
TCP/IP, no other apollo domain nodes). When looked with "ps aux"
etc/init had SZ ~ 20000 and RSS kept yoyoing from around 100 upto
2000-4000! You can guess what this does to 8Mb machine... (SZ was
also slowly creeping upwards...).

  Any ideas what might be the problem and how to prevent it happening?
I did have one socket buffer overlow (netstat showed sendq > 9000 for
a while hours ago) and disk is 90% full, if those can have anything to
do with it...?

  After reboot I hasn't repeated yet...
