        My sincerest (and public) apologies to Alfred.

        There is something pretty fundamental that I was missing -- this 
problem is not restricted to just a softupdates filesystem filling 
up, and if it's the root filesystem then there can be a crash.  No, 
this problem appears to be that if *any* softupdates filesystem fills 
up, it can crash the system.


        Now that I understand what it was I was missing, I'm much more 
reluctant to use softupdates in general, at least until this problem 
is fixed.


        Thanks for understanding, and helping me to more clearly 
understand the problem!

  Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
