[John Tang Boyland]

] There may be patches in 1.4.7-pre2 that might help.

I tried it, but got no better results:

849926 files, 18516648 used, 39053355 free, 849677 AFS files (89091 frags, 4870533 blocks, 0.2% fragmentation)

Is there a way for the core files to be found?  It seems
that bos/salvager deletes them?  "ulimit" says "unlimited".
There's no core files in /usr/afs/logs, /tmp or /var/tmp
