About once in every 100 ssh connections to Best (shell3), I receive the
following:

      You have mail.
      -bash in malloc(): warning: recursive call.
      bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate 3 bytes (0 bytes allocated)
      Connection closed.

and an immediate re-connect attempt always succeeds and I won't see the
error again for perhaps another 2 weeks.

It's probably not serious, but here's the report anyway since I had a
few moments and Cut-'N-Pasted it into this report.

FWIW, I _never_ get any kind of error connecting anywhere else (assuming
the "anyplace else" is up :-), only via ssh to Best.
