Last week it ocuured twice that my system was hanging due to a 
"vmunix: proc table full". Did anyone see this before? If patches
are availbale, they are welcome. I don't have time working on solved
bugs. Talking about bugs: the above mentioned one, together with
the fact that i experienced one time that the system hung while
constantly accessing the fixed disk (i only have 1) are the only "real"
bugs left.
And then there is another strange behaviour: when using wildcards on NFS
mounted directories, it occurs frequently that commands return with error 
0. e.g. when you do a more (or grep) like "more *" on a directory with 
lots of files (100+).
I don't understand why this doesnt work. It seems independent of the
shell (occurs with ash, csh, tcsh). As I said, I believe this only happens
with NFS filesystems
