Nope - I'm using reiserfs.  However, I do know for a fact that I was running
envy24control when I got the overruns.  I'll make sure it's dead next time.

I'll look into this - thanks again!

Actually, I went through this entire document a few weeks ago.  I already
owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for putting it together.  It was

I'll take another look, though, in case I neglected something.

Thanks again!
