A system here at Harvard is still running version 3.7 and suddenly
began having this problem:

	Almost exactly 5 hours after the system is booted accounting
	stops working. The accounting file is unwriteable.

	"set accounting/new" doesn't work, no new accounting file is
	created.

In order to solve this problem, we did all sorts of things like
copying over new versions of rms, jobctl, and even vms.exe. The system
disk has been reformatted and compressed (an RP07).

Does anyone have any ideas?
