After booting, I can use the network if I use it lightly. Pings and
FTP's of 10 to 40K files are OK. But, if I FTP PUT a 10Meg file, I loose
the network. Local processes are OK but I can't ping, telnet, or FTP.
Here is a 'ps' showing the FTP process is blocked on 'unix_gc':

For starters, what is 'unix_gc'? Second, is there anything obvious I

Any help would be appreciated. I'm going to try the same .config with
2.1.84 to see what it does. And, BTW, this system has been running
2.1.57 will almost no problems for a couple of months...
