I have been having exactly the same problem on two different 3b2/400's running
System V r3.0. On a third 3B2/400, on which I have restructured the /usr2 file
system to contain more inodes, the problem does not appear to occur (or
perhaps I have not noticed it because it does not run out of inodes any more).
As I recall the problem is not cured by a reboot, because an fsck is not
performed unless the system crashed.
