Hmm....this _is_ a scsi drive, but it has not shown any signs of
screwiness [knock on wood]. Would '$ mount' show / as mounted
read-only?

The syslogd log shows nothing like that: at a certain point it just
stops, of course on the same date that the locatedb was last updated,
and then it resumes the day I rebooted. Where, or should I ask how,
would one see the 'last message reapeated 4eva' messages?
