Re: zephyr server crash - out of memory at 11+ meg

Actually, I am just assuming that the large growth was due to this
person flooding the server with junk.  The core file from the server
is in /mit/zephyr/build.raeburn/wow for the moment.  Also there are a
copy of the zephyr server from b11zephyr (zephyrd.b11) and the same
executable, patched so that main calls dump_db and exit.  I used this
and the "undump" program to produce the zephyr.db file in that
directory.

It occurs to me that we might consider putting in code to do this more
easily (check some global variable at the start of main, for example).
It's gross, but potentially useful.
