- The NeXT I was using filled up its local disk (swap file grew while
- running Mathematica). Eventually the machine totally wedged and I
- had to power cycle it. Now when it boots it gets stuck trying to
- handle a page fault.
-
- There doesn't appear to be any way of doing file management from
- the monitor / debugger - or am I missing something? (Otherwise
- I would have tried emoving files.)
-
- Any ideas on how to fix this?
-
- Another complication: it's running afs and the problem comes up just
- after AFS loads.
-
- Is this the right group for this question - if not, where should I ask?
