I think I've confirmed that it *is* a hw problem - the problem machine and
my home machine are running exactly the same versions of everything,
they're even the same CPU (k6-200mmx), and both have 64 meg of RAM with
the same cache.  It works fine on my home machine.

Unfortunately the problem machine is my main file/network server here in
our J office.  So, you think it's bad cache ram that causes that?
