Yep, it reported using 127 MB and worked.  But, the "nfs server
kyyhky:/home: not responding" messages got even worse during a cvs
update.  I think I'll set BUFCACHE to 10 and take the server back home.

During cvs update, both CPU's (server and client) were almost idle, but
running "df" took at least 20 seconds and everything was pretty slow.
Not nice.
