Hello,

    I have been having some problems with df and du.  When I invoke them
they seem to load up off my hard disk, sit for four, five seconds and then 
start filling the screen about using an interrupt below 16.  At first I   
thought it was a parity problem with my memory since that is tied to the 
NMI line (interrupt 2).  With this in mind I ran the Zenith diagnostics and
found no problem with the memory.  I had the same problem at both 4.77MHz
and 7.37 MHz.  I even recompiled df, but with no change in the results.

    Anyone have any ideas?  I would like to get this problem cleared up.
I enjoy using Minix and have learned quite a bit from it, but this is a
pain in the butt.  Thanks for any suggestions, comments, smart remarks in
advance.  

    Oh, by the way my system is composed of:

	z151 running at 4.77/7.37 (using the speed up board found in REMark)
	v20
	720K of memory
	four floppy drives
	and a 5M hard disk running on a Zebec controller from Zenith.
