	Today I noticed one of the Macs around here ran out of disk space.
Hunting around for where it all went, I eventually found a 15 Mbyte System
file.  Does anybody have any idea what might have happend to cause a System
file to blow up like that?  Not even SunOS kernels get that big!  I had a
bunch of DA's and fonts installed, but not that many (the System file on
another similarly configured Mac was about 600k).  I ran disinfectant and
it didn't show any viruses.
