Hi.  I've been working on squeteague at Woods Hole Oceanographic (IP number 
128.128.16.221) and this is the second day that my screen has frozen.  Some
people who were logged in remotely also had their screens freeze up--the 
cursor wouldn't move, return wouldn't work, etc.  The Athena contact down 
here rebooted the machine (and all the people that were logged on remotely 
were either happy or peeved depending on whether there screens were also 
frozen or not).  
  My screen got stuck again today and when I logged onto the neighboring
terminal (tautog), then squeteague became unfrozen.  I'm not sure if this
is related or just pure coincidence.
  The following message came up on the console window on squeteague:
	NOTICE: zs3:ring buffer overflow.  
What does this mean, and what can I do to prevent the above from happening 
again??

Thank you,
       Dana
