A user reported the following problem on our 20-R4400 Challenge running
IRIX 5.2:

It still has problems.  It looks you changed a file, but it may not
have been enough places?

I cannot think of any reason why it cannot find enough space on this
machine since it has more than 12 meg free space on /, more than 750 meg
on /usr, as well as huge swapping space.

Thanks in advance for any pointer.
