Ok -- I've been "stress" testing for a few days now and everything seems
perfect. Thanks Derik.

I was wondering where I can find out more about GCPAGs? Will it
eventually consume all my free memory if I leave it unset? And is there
a particular reason it caused me trouble recently (I was happily running
2.6.24 kernels with OpenAFS and GCPAGs. It only broke on 2.6.25 kernels).

Thanks again for your tip about GCPAGs,

GI

Don't have awk? Use this simple sh emulation:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Awk bailing out!'
exit 2
