I've noticed shar guruing immediately and repeatably when shar is in
ram:  or Perry's rrd.  If instead shar is brought in from disk for the
run, it completes.  This is while unshar-ing source and dest on df1:.
Most peculiar.

I've also encountered mysterious gurus on occasion, such as crashing
when I remove WB from df0: (light off).  Shar might be the culprit?
Configuration: 512K + 512K Alegra, external drive, pm, popcli-II, rrd.
