Yes, pine 3.90 is often hanging around at or about the time of the
panic - typically at the instant of sending a mail via sendmail. Don't
know about the person at .anu.edu.au though.

If the theory is correct then it may be ftruncate in conjunction with
something else as pine (albeit 3.87) is running without problems on
another identically supped netbsd system here.

It's a good hint, I'll batten down the hatches and do a bit of
experimenting.
