Hi -

We are running AIX 2.2.1 on two RT's (6150/135).  Sometimes, AIX seems
to get real upset when we try to do even the simplest commands.  If,
for example, I try to do an 'ls', I'll get the message:

/bin/ls: Text file busy

...this can happen on nearly any file/command that we try to invoke.

The messages reference (000-026) says that another process is using the
file.  Not much help, because 'ps' and/or 'fuser' never shows anyone
using these files.

Hint: this phenomena seems more likely to happen if we are playing around
with SDLC SNA.  Rebooting seems to help for a while.

Any ideas?  Ignorant minds want to know.
