I've got an all IDE system, this seems to occur on my system when I have
a large process core (I've got a few muds running and they're updated
quite frequently, so we get a few bugs).  The whole system is basically
frozen while it's coring we usualy get between 3 meg and 7 meg core files.

This is a noname 486/66 24M ram, main drive is a 1 gig IBM (they're recent
'fast' one), generic IDE controller.
