There is a problem with the RAM: device where if one creates
an empty file and then deletes it, the block count decrements by one
over the original causing it to go negative.  This can be reproduced by
typing:

          copy * ram:test
          ^\
          delete ram:test

At this point the ram: block count is incorrect and a info command will
either verify this or guru with a "divide by zero" fault.  
          This seems like a serious deficiency, and probably should be
reported, so am taking a shot.

                    Thanks,
                    John G. Ata
