Hello!

	I went to look at my gdb manpage today and since it had not been 
compiled as of yet, I got a "Write Failed: Filesystem full message" and my gdb
 manpage seems to have departed this mortal coil; leaving only a filetable
 entry of size 0 in my cat1 directory ( i assume that this is where it was living in it's pre-compiled, embryonic state ). 

	Am i mistaken in thinking that it is gone forever? Is it located some-
where else on my fs? Could someone ship me a new one please? Or tell me where
to find it!

	On a somewhat related note. What is fsck telling me about my remaining
 space on my disk? It claims that i have about a third of my disk remainingf
 free. Is it including my swapspace in it's inventory? That would explain why i
have no space on my fs when i go to compile manpages and recalcitrant gnuplots 
'n things!

		Thnx for your input
