"wombat", a VS-II, just went deaf to the network. Running "netconfig",
after sourcing rc.conf, solved the problem, though.
This is the first report of such an incident, and may not be related to
the previous bug. /usr/adm/messages has no log of a qerestart, and from
experience, I know that DEQNAs sometimes go deaf, but I thought the
watchdog timer was supposed to bash it when this happens. <sigh>.
User commentary: DEQNAs are pieces of @#$%; I guess that is why DEC no
longer makes them...
