The following is not too surprising, give that I was running:

while true; do (find / >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &); done &

at the time, but here it goes anyway....

System is: P120, 64Mb, ~3Gb IDE HD, ethernet connected (cheapy NE2000),
software mostly from RedHat 4.1.

This oops doesn't really surprise me, but perhaps it's a problem
somewhere??
