Yes.  I didn't do anything to fix those, unfortunately.  I was just
focusing on the IDE problems.  I should have made that clear.

I was going to bring down the htdig partition for one more fruitless
attempt at fixing this problem but it looks like htdig is running on it
now.

If I wanted to just stop everything htdig related for a while, do I have
to do more than just umount the partition?  I'm thinking about backing
up and mkfs'ing the partition again to see if that solves things.

It sure is frustrating not being in front of the machine.  I'm thinking
of just flying out to Sunnyvale and camping out in the computer room
for a week or so.
