There's a note in /usr/doc/netscape about crashes with java that

It is not for anonymous ftp uploads, that would be too easy. I need the
ftpd to set the mode automatically because most of my users are windows
users ... they have lots of problems with cgi scripts, etc because the
current default has group writable set to true.
Anyone else have a simpler way? -

I just had this same problem... You have to type something like Ramdisk0 at the
boot: prompt. Press F1 and see. When you do this it asks for the root disk
later. Look at the install.html file in the directory where you got the base
disks, for exact instructions for installation on low memory s

I've had this problem before after I unwisely used vi to read a core file.
Last time it went away by itself, now it's back and it's lasted longer.
vi (i.e. elvis) prints out "skipping session file X" where X is a number
