This machine is acting strangly in number of ways....

  1) Constantly hosed.
      It's consistently at about 1.5 delayed processes ave.
      This seems to be from this:
         IRIX m11-113-15 5.2 07261423 IP22 Load[1.31,1.35,1.32] 13:34:22   59 procs
	 user   pid  pgrp   %cpu proc  pri  size   rss    time  command        
	 root  2346  2344  93.89    *  100   814    11 2517:35  xlogin
	 root 15349 15349   2.60    *   26  1544   666    0:30  Xsgi 
	 kretch 15422 15422   0.55    *   26   793   312    0:00  xterm
	 kretch 15790 15790   0.47    0   60   459   141    0:00  top
	 kretch 15408 15408   0.19    *   26   698   254    0:02  ctwm
	 kretch 15423 15423   0.10    *   26  1366   827    0:14  emacs-19.28
	 kretch 15426 15426   0.09    *   26   733   258    0:02  xload   
	 ....
      (The xlogin has stayed above 90% for the last 30 min.)


  2) Repeatedly (once every 10 min) sets the clock back
     10 seconds:
	13:14 afs: setting clock back 10 seconds (of 36, via 18.183.0.20 in cell athena.mit.edu); clock is still fast.
	13:24 afs: setting clock back 10 seconds (of 47, via 18.183.0.20 in cell athena.mit.edu); clock is still fast.
	13:24 afs: setting clock back 10 seconds (of 47, via 18.183.0.20 in cell athena.mit.edu); clock is still fast.

  3) su breaks in this interesting way:
      m11-113-15:29521% su
      Password:
      UX:csh: ERROR: uid - Undefined variable
      Athena% 
      Athena% exit
      Athena% m11-113-15:29521%
      I reconfigured so that my prompt doesn't include my uid
        but that doesn't seem to have been the problem

  4) last produces this:

   browsing throught the rest of it I found repeated
   logins (but not this bad) as far back as Apr 28 (when
   wtmp started)
