Andy (and others who emailed responses) --

It went away!!  :-(  When I got here this AM, I was greeted by

WARNING:
	hard disk:  drive 0 out of service
	
PANIC: swap segment - i/o error in swap.

Rebooting showed a possibly damaged /usr2, but an fsck repaired it.  I
guess I'd better go shopping for another 72MB HD!  

Eventually, everything rebooted properly and with all file systems
mounted, I now have recovered the missing megabytes.  ????  I'm nervous.

Pete
