  I had had my lone Apollo running without a boot well over two
months and decided to boot it to clean out some hanging FIN_WAIT_2
tcp connections. Thought it would do good for it...

  Boot seemed to go well and system worked. But, ... sometimes
or for some operations system just seemed to freeze for a while
or just be awfully sluggish.

  llbd, glbd and rgyd seemed to be running fine, but then I tried
edrgy, and it didn't start (unfortunately didn't save the error
message).  Thougth, aha, maybe rgyd is trashed and killed it...
Shouldn't have done that, because when trying to restart it I
get:

> Registry: Fatal Error - Cannot register server replica interface - 0X1C010001 -
> communications failure (network computing system/RPC runtime)
> Registry: Fatal Error - 0X9010006 - IOT instruction fault (UNIX/signal

  Arghh! I'm no apollo expert, so I just rebooted the machine again.
This time "rgyd" didn't start even on boot. It didn't complain when
I started it manually, but it seems non-functional (hmm.. just now
when I tried, it seems to have gotten something ok, could "su" again
normally, but still cannot run "edrgy", I get...

># edrgy
>?(edrgy)  Unable to open the registry. - Registry server unavailable (RGYC/Serve
>r)
>#

   Any hints where the trouble is?
