Folks,

I have two 3300L's that are running as DNSes. Both are identical, same H/W
and O/S. The same /sbin/rc3.d files are set to run. We had a power failure
and now when one of them tries to start S15named we the error:
        vmunix: task table is full
and when we look at the process table (ps aux) I see a who bunch of:
        <defunct>
processes.

We had a power failure and both boxes went down (the UPSes didn't last long
enough...) and this is what started happening. I tried copying the hosts.db
and hosts.rev from the working box (and fixing the appropriate entries to
reflect the change in host name), but still no go. I've "commented out"
anything in rc3.d that we don't need (darn default installations...) but I
still get the error. After a time, I can telnet into the box and it appears
that the DNS is working okay.

Anyone see this before?

Thanks,
Mike
