I have a problem where on a regular basis the number of inodes on my
busiest (spool) file system goes to zero when there are really lots left.

It occasionally happens on other file systems, but I've been getting
2 weeks worth of news in the last couple of days, and it's happened at
least 4 times.  This is a royal pain as rnews starts failing all over the
place.

Is this a known bug (with a patch !!Please!!) or at least fixed in Sys5r3?
And while you're at it when will Sys5r3 be available on ICM3216s?

I should point out that this is the only bug of any consequence that I've
found with the ICM.  I'm VERY happy with it.

(Oh, yah, one other little problem: the clock gains about 30 seconds/day.
I've tried changing the variable capacitor, but one turn either way seems
to make very little difference.  The reason this is a major problem is that
the only reason I've had to take the system down ever is to change the system
time!!  It was once up over 35 days (until the 18 minute fast clock got to me))
