Maybe my problem is related. The same error occurred once and
plus the following many times:

Have you or anyone else seen this: I inherited a BSD2.0 machine
with 16MB of RAM, 64MB swap, 256MB DOS/Windows partition with
windows swap in the Unix partition and with /tmp redirected
into swap ala' Sun's TMPFS trick. Whenever I exercise the machine
e.g. dump alot of files into /tmp I see the above error repeated.
I used the little disk verifier and got no errors.
