couple of idle thoughts...
first, we know (this is a secret) that sgi's are not doing well at cleaning
/tmp and so forth. might be interesting to see what a df shows on those
machines. a reboot might help clear them up a bit...
second, parts of dash use Netscape and others use netscape. looking at infoagents,
Netscape is going to run a load of junk, while netscape is going to be
fairly raw. I wonder if there's a difference (and if it makes a difference
which is in dash).
