Oops - problem came from the other end; there is only one other machine
there and it apparently ran out of streams resources.  (more memory leaks
but here I don't have the source :-(  Rebooting the other end fixed that
problem.

I'm now up to PL 138 (all of 0.2.3 except for the compiler and binutils mods
which I'm just throwing away and using 2.4.5) and the system seems to be
pretty stable.

Pardon me following up my own message...
