I'm back from vacation and when I did a routine check on my system with
uerf, I got a zillion CPU EXCEPTIONS. My /var/adm/binary.errlog file is now
70Mb !
Here is a excerpt from the uerf -R command:

Most of these errors occured on August 18 from 9:11Am to 10:37 am (There are
a ton of them!) and others occured on August 5 and 23. I've got another
identical server Alpha 2100 5/250RM (which has 1 CPU instead of 2) and the
log file on that other server is normal (341Kb with no CPU exception) Both
systems run thge same OS: DU 3.2D-1
What is this ? Any help would be appreciated.
How can I reduce the size of my binary.errlog file ?
TIA
