- hmm i had crashes in rsmtp (uucp mail unbatcher), apparently in minixfs
- unlink()ing a tempfile... (looked so with fsck) the funny thing was it
- happened only when there was an expire (cnews-xt) running at the same time...
- fixstk rsmtp cured it. (68000, no multitos.)

- now how can one process affect anothers stack? is this a kernel bug?
- race condition? i have never seen update crashing but maybe this is the
- same reason...
