I have a few IIci's here which I have been trying to bring from 1.4.1 to
-current. However, they seem to be suffering from fairly frequent spontaneous
coredumps. Usually these are in 'make' and so the build process stops between
targets (how nice!), but sometimes a set of processes croak all at once, and
when this happens it usually includes getty/inetd which makes it hard to log
in except on the console...

I get similar symptoms on two machines (using the same hard drive however).

While installing I noticed some very weird behavior from the MacOS installer
on small partitions, might there be some problems with its ffs code?

BTW the sources I am building are on NFS, since these Macs all have small
disks (either 232 megs or 500 megs).

Any help or pointers to mail archives (since the mail-index host appears to
have disabled searching recently) would be appreciated.
