Apache 1.2b6, 5 threads or streams, or whatever the appropriate term is;
named, and all of the standard stuff (portmap, syslogd, routed, etc.,
etc.).  The CPU itself is a IIvx.

I don't know if this has any bearing, but I noticed another message today
that I have seen before (thought it's much less frequent) -- "fifo
overrun" instead of "ring overrun".  Assuming that fifo is for first in,
first out, it must be referring to a different buffer than the "ring"
message.  Maybe a problem in one place is causing reprocussions in others.
But maybe they're different issues entirely.

Thanks for your repeated help,

Brian
