 hmm i had crashes in rsmtp (uucp mail unbatcher), apparently in minixfs
unlink()ing a tempfile... (looked so with fsck)  the funny thing was it
happened only when there was an expire (cnews-xt) running at the same time...
fixstk rsmtp cured it.  (68000, no multitos.)

 now how can one process affect anothers stack?  is this a kernel bug?
race condition?  i have never seen update crashing but maybe this is the
same reason...
