Of course, with a problem of this magnitude, DEC won't say if there is
a problem with SMP (I can see their stock plunging, heads rolling, etc)
since it is a problem of HUGE magnitude.  (I'm not saying I agree, BTW).

I got a call from DEC today, the person said that he will forward this to
the local office.  However, he said there are two things to look for:
Is the configuration on an HSC, and if so, how many disks/requestors are
configured?  The second was a suggestion - changing bufcache in your config
to 25 instead of the 10%.  If you make the change, let me know how it goes.
